A military cargo plane crashed in downtown Yemen's capital Sanaa early on Wednesday killing the 10-member crew, security sources said.

 A technical problem was behind the crash that occurred in Al-Hasaba district, the sources said, adding the captain Muhammad Al-Khawaja and nine other crew members died immediately.

 "The empty transport plane, Antonov, was on training and the captain managed to come down in an unpopulated area," the sources said.
 
The accident was reported about ten minutes after it took off from Sanaa International Airport, they added.
