The Boeing suffered damage to its left engine but no one was injured, the head of the airport, Herson, told Antara.

“A calf ran very fast from Jati village on the eastern side of the airport and the airplane couldn’t avoid it,” Herson said, adding that the airport was not fully fenced in.

The report did not say if the calf was killed.
