A DHL cargo aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in Hanover, Germany, after colliding with an unidentified object shortly after taking off from Leipzig/Halle Airport.

According to Reuters, the incident occurred during the aircraft's climb after departure, prompting the crew to divert and land safely in Hanover as a precaution. No injuries were immediately reported.

The incident came as German police were already investigating a suspicious object discovered near a runway at Leipzig/Halle Airport following an overnight security alert that temporarily disrupted airport operations.

Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the object struck by the aircraft was connected to the security incident. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the collision and the nature of the object involved.

Officials are expected to release more information as the investigation progresses.
