Five people died and at least seven were injured after a small plane crashed last night in a hangar at an airport near Warsaw, said Polish Health Minister Adam Niedzielski, quoted by AFP.

"We have at least seven injured and five dead," Niedzielski tweeted after the incident at the small airport in Chrcynno, 47 km north of the Polish capital.
