TEHRAN, Dec. 05 (MNA) – Iraqi news sources reported on Sunday evening that one of the tires of a plane burst while it was taking off towards the holy city of Medina in Saudi Arabia.

The incident caused other planes that were going to land at Baghdad Airport to wait in the sky for a while so that the repair and maintenance team managed to move the damaged plane out of the runway in order to let other planes land at the airport safely.
