Five people on board a coast guard aircraft died after a runway collision with a Japan Airlines plane at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on Tuesday, the Japanese transportation minister said.

The cause of the incident was not immediately clear, but reports and footage indicated that the Airbus had collided with a coast guard aircraft.

“Regarding the coast guard plane, we have been informed that the captain escaped and five people were confirmed dead,” Minister Tetsuo Saito told reporters.
Footage on broadcaster NHK showed the plane moving along the runway before a large explosion of orange flames exploded from beneath and behind it.

All 367 passengers and 12 crew onboard the Airbus plane were safely evacuated, NHK reported. Those onboard included eight children, Kyodo News reported.
