A small plane struck the CITIC Tower in Beijing's central business district on Friday afternoon, shattering windows on the upper floors. The building — a 108-story skyscraper — was evacuated as a precaution. No casualties have been reported so far. The incident follows an earlier report from The Zioneer (Fri 17:07 Jerusalem) that the same crash had shattered windows on the 109th floor, based on initial, unverified information. The current account from Israeli-channel sources places the tower at 108 floors and confirms an evacuation with no reported injuries. The cause of the crash is not yet known, and independent confirmation from Chinese authorities is still pending.
