DHL Cargo Plane Crashes Near Vilnius Airport

A DHL cargo plane operated by Swiftair crashed into a residential area near Vilnius Airport, Lithuania, killing at least one person and injuring two others. The Boeing 737-400, en route from Leipzig, Germany, struck a two-story home, igniting a fire, but all house residents survived. Emergency services responded quickly, and efforts are ongoing to determine the crash's cause, with weather conditions, aircraft age, and potential sabotage being considered factors. Lithuanian authorities have not confirmed any link to earlier reported sabotage incidents at DHL facilities. The crash did not disrupt airport operations, though it led to some departure delays. The plane's 31-year-old airframe, typical for cargo flights, is under scrutiny for possible safety implications.
