More information getting through now

A Russian Cargo Airplane on way to Sudan (Khartoum) crashed 5 minutes after take off from Karachi Airport, Pakistan. It has crashed into a Naval Colony (Malir Cantt Ext) destroying 8 houses. Reporting 4 on board.

Edit: Other reports suggesting that there may have been 8 crew on board, and that witnesses claim to have seen the right engine on fire prior to the crash. Obviously it's much too early to have hard facts
