A small aircraft was seized by authorities in Angola's central highlands after entering airspace without permission.

The Cessna 162 aircraft reportedly entered the country's air space without permission and landed at an airport in the city of Kuito. The Namibian pilot, the only person aboard the aircraft, was detained for questioning on suspicion of smuggling.

It is currently unclear where the aircraft had flown from and if it was carrying any cargo, reported The Associated Press.
