A plane has burst into flames after apparently veering off a runway at an airport in Sudan.

About 200 passengers are thought to be aboard, but it is unclear how many might be casualties.

An Associated Press reporter at the scene says the plane apparently veered off a runway as it landed in Khartoum, and then burst into flames.

Ambulances and fire trucks were seen rushing to the scene after the accident Tuesday night.

The plane was flying from Amman, Jordan. It was not immediately clear what airline was involved.
