Two planes collided on a snow-covered tarmac at an airport in Japan Tuesday, the second aircraft crash in the country in as many weeks after a clipped passenger jet burst into flames on a runway.

A Korean Air Lines flight clipped the wing of a parked Cathay Pacific Airways plane at New Chitose Airport on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido amid wintry weather, a Korean Air official said.

No injuries were reported on either aircraft, and no fire or fuel leaks were detected, a fire department spokesperson told local news outlets.

Korean Air Flight 766 bound for Seoul, South Korea, had 289 passengers and crew members on board at the time of the incident, which occurred as the plane was preparing for takeoff, an airline official said.

Japanese media had conflicting information on whether passengers were on board the Cathay Pacific plane, but Kyodo News agency reported that it was empty.
