Five passengers and six crew members suffered minor injuries in the incident, Lufthansa says.
However, according to the airline, the safety of the flight was not threatened, and the plane, which was on its way from Buenos Aires, managed to land in Frankfurt as planned. In Germany, medical assistance was offered to the injured.
