Several reports say a small plane crashes into Beijing’s tallest building, the 528-metre CITIC Tower, in the capital’s business district. Witnesses and footage captured what appears to be parts of a small aircraft on the ground near the base of the skyscraper, while debris is reported to fall as people move away from the area. Images from the scene show visible damage to upper floors, including a large hole, and emergency response teams gather at the site. Police and emergency crews seal off the surrounding area as investigations begin. Some outlets report evacuations of workers from the tower following the crash, and authorities close off parts of the building and adjacent streets.

No official information on casualties or the aircraft’s identity is provided in the included articles, but all sources describe a major, immediate investigation and an active emergency response at the skyscraper.
