JOHANNESBURG, June 28 (Reuters) - An Angolan TAAG Boeing 737 crashed in the northern city of M'banza Congo on Thursday, killing at least 6 people and injuring others, Angola's ANGOP news agency said.

The airplane was carrying 78 passengers and was en route from Luanda to M'Banza Congo, which is in northern Angola near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The agency said the plane lost control upon landing and crashed into a building, destroying it. It said a number of severely injured passengers were taken to hospital for treatment.
