A DHL cargo plane crashed near Vilnius, Lithuania, narrowly missing a residential building.

The aircraft, operated by Swift Air, was en route from Leipzig and attempted an emergency landing just before reaching the airport.

Tragically, one crew member, believed to be the pilot, died, while three others were hospitalized, with one in critical condition.

Eyewitnesses described the plane flying alarmingly low, sparking fears of a missile attack.

Investigations are ongoing, with black boxes recovered and international experts, including those from Germany, Spain, and the USA, joining the probe.

Authorities have not ruled out sabotage, especially given recent warnings of potential threats to air traffic.

However, initial reports suggest no fire or suspicious packages were on board.
