At least eight people have died after a hot air balloon crashed in Brazil, say officials.
The tourism balloon caught fire and fell from the sky in the city of Praia Grande, in the southern state of Santa Catarina.
Footage shared by local news outlet G1 showed smoke coming from the balloon as it hurtled to the ground in the early hours of Saturday.
Thirteen people survived the crash and were taken to nearby hospitals, according to Santa Catarina's military fire brigade.
Some 21 people were on board the flight, including the pilot, it added.
The state governor Jorginho Mello said in a video on X: "We are in mourning. A tragedy has happened. We will see how it unfolds, what happened, why it happened.
"But the important thing now is for the state structure to do what it can."
Mr Mello said he has asked authorities to travel to the municipality "to do as much as possible to rescue, to help, to take to hospital, to comfort the families".
Pilot has 'extensive experience'
Sobrevoar, the company responsible for the balloon, said it complied with all regulations and had "no records" of accidents before Saturday's incident.
In a statement, it said: "Despite all necessary precautions and the efforts of our pilot - who has extensive experience and followed all recommended procedures in an attempt to save everyone on board the balloon - we are suffering from the pain caused by this tragedy."
Sobrevoar added that it was suspending all operations for an indefinite time.
