Experts investigating the site of a cargo plane crash in Greece say they have found no evidence of dangerous substances but that a lot of widespread ordnance remains, while Serbia’s defence minister confirmed that all eight crew members had died in the incident.

The An-12 cargo plane from Serbia, flown by a Ukrainian aviation crew, crashed into fields between two northern Greek villages late on Saturday.
