Chinese Flight Experiences 'Aircraft Malfunction', Makes Emergency Landing
Beijing:
A Chinese domestic flight made an emergency landing on Friday after experiencing an 'aircraft malfunction', with passengers reporting loud noises and a foul smell in the plane.
A Shandong Airlines flight from Qingdao to Shanghai experienced an 'aircraft malfunction' and the crew diverted to an airport in Nanjing after handling the situation in accordance with procedures to ensure passenger safety, the airline said in a social media post.
Flight SC4667 was forced to make an emergency landing in Nanjing, it said.
'All affected passengers have been properly accommodated, and another aircraft has been dispatched to operate subsequent flights,' the post said.
A user claiming to have been on board the flight said in a social media post that something appeared to have been sucked into the aircraft's left engine while it was cruising, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported on Saturday.
'Terrifying,' the user wrote. 'There were a few loud bangs, then the plane started shaking side to side by about 10 degrees, with a burnt smell that lasted for five to 10 minutes.' The captain then announced the emergency landing in Nanjing, and the entire process was 'very smooth,' the user said, adding: 'Thumbs up to the Shandong Airlines pilots,' the post said.

Pakistan starts rebuilding terror launchpads destroyed in Operation Sindoor with ISI support: Report
Pakistan has begun rebuilding terrorist launchpads and training camps that were destroyed during India's precision military strikes under Operation Sindoor in May, NDTV said in an exclusive report citing top intelligence sources. The reconstruction is reportedly backed by the Pakistani military, its intelligence agency ISI, and the interim government. According to the report, Pakistan is setting up small, high-tech terror facilities in forested areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to evade Indian surveillance and future strikes. These facilities are being equipped with technologies designed to mask thermal, radar, and satellite signatures. ET Online has not independently verified the report.

New sites are being built in areas such as Kel, Sardi, Dudhnial, Athmuqam, Jura, Lipa, Pachiban, Kahuta, Kotli, Khuiratta, Mandhar, Nikail, Chamankot, and Jankote locations chosen for their difficult terrain and thick vegetation. To reduce vulnerability, Pakistan's ISI has allegedly dispersed training across smaller camps, each housing fewer than 200 terrorists, the report said. These mini-camps are said to be guarded by specially trained Pakistan Army units and fitted with advanced surveillance tools, including thermal sensors and anti-drone systems. Live Events ISI-terror group nexus active According to intelligence sources cited by NDTV, Indian agencies intercepted communications indicating a recent high-level meeting in Bahawalpur, attended by senior commanders of Jaish-e-Mohammed , Lashkar-e-Taiba , Hizbul Mujahideen , and The Resistance Front, along with ISI officials. Bahawalpur, the JeM headquarters, was a major target in Operation Sindoor. The meeting reportedly focused on rebuilding terror infrastructure, reassigning leadership roles, and accelerating recruitment efforts in Pakistan and Kashmir. NDTV also accessed footage showing condolence events for terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor, with masked armed men providing security. International aid allegedly misused Citing unnamed sources, the report said that part of Pakistan's international financial aid from the World Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB) is allegedly being diverted to finance the reconstitution of these terror camps. Pakistan has secured a USD 350 million loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to promote women's financial inclusion and economic empowerment under the Women Inclusive Finance (WIF) Sector Development Programme, according to Radio Pakistan. Separately, Pakistan is under a USD 7 billion IMF loan programme and has received two tranches so far, the latest in May. The country is also expecting to secure an additional USD 3.3 billion in foreign loans from Chinese banks through a syndicated loan and refinancing of commercial debt.
