A Ukrainian Antonov An-12 cargo plane carrying dangeruos materials, mostly explosives, crashed on Saturday near the town of Kavala in Northern Greece. As a precaution because of the strong smell emanating from the crash site, a coordinating committee told inhabitants of the two localities closest to the crash site to keep their windows closed, to not leave their homes and to wear masks, Greek media report.
