Frankfurt Airport confirmed on Sunday morning that two passenger jets collided on the tarmac hours earlier.

A Korean Air Boeing 777 aircraft collided lightly with an Air Namibia aircraft after landing on Saturday at 6.20 p.m. (1720 GMT).

The horizontal stabilizer on the Korean jet and the wingtip of the Namibian plane were both damaged, according to the Korean news agency Yonhap.

There were no reports of injuries as the Air Namibia plane was “moving at low speed on the ground,” the agency said, citing the Korean carrier.

The German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) launched an investigation into the collision.
