A military helicopter carrying a sick baby for treatment has crashed in thick fog in the Serbian capital of Belgrade.
The aircraft had picked up the five-day-old child in the southern region of Raska after an ambulance taking the child to hospital for treatment for life-threatening respiratory problems was blocked by a landslide, according to Serbian broadcaster B92.
Serbian state television said the Mi-17 transport helicopter had four crew members and two medical workers.
There are no details on casualties, but B92 reported that it is feared all seven of those on board have been killed.
A soldier near the scene, which has been blocked off by the military, gave the news agency Reuters the same information.
The helicopter came down at around 10.30pm local time (9.30pm GMT) on Friday "in the wider area" of Belgrade airport, according to the country's defence ministry.
Several commercial flights that tried to land at the airport had to be rerouted because of poor visibility.
The government has called an emergency cabinet meeting.
