planes)
       TOKYO, June 10 (Reuters) - Some flights were delayed at
Tokyo's Haneda airport on Saturday after two planes appeared to
have collided on the ground near a taxiway, public broadcaster
NHK reported, citing Japan's transport ministry.
    No injuries occurred, NHK said, but the incident led to the
closure of one of four runways at the airport at about 11 a.m.
(0200 GMT).  
    The broadcaster showed footage of Eva Airways  2618.TW  and
Thai Airways  THAI.BK  jets on the ground.
    Part of the wing of the Thai Airways plane looked to be
broken, and what appeared to be fragments could be seen near the
runway.
    Japan's transport ministry did not respond immediately to a
request for comment.
