TOKYO, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Passengers evacuated via

emergency slides from a United Airlines plane at Japan's

Kansai Airport in western city of Osaka around 7.30 p.m. on

Friday, public broadcaster NHK said.

The Boeing 737 aircraft heading to Cebu in the

Philippines from Narita Airport near Tokyo was diverted after a

cargo fire indicator activated while flying over the Pacific

Ocean, NHK reported.

It is not clear how many passengers were on board or whether

there are any injuries.
