Britons are no longer thought to be among seven people who were killed when an aircraft crashed in the Dominican Republic.
The plane had taken off from Punta Cana Airport before it crashed in the east of the Caribbean island.
The pilot was reportedly attempting to make an emergency landing when the plane struck the ground in a golf course adjacent to the airport and burst into flames, the Civil Aviation Institute spokesman Hector Olivo told the Daily Mail.
The Foreign Office has been looking into reports that two British citizens were among the six passengers, but it now says this is not thought to be the case. A spokesman said: "We are liaising with the authorities in the Dominican Republic following reports of a plane crash in the Punta Cana region of the country. Engagement with the local police suggests no British nationals were involved in the incident."
Initial reports said four of the six passengers were tourists from Spain and two were from Britain. The pilot was from the Dominican Republic.
