At least 46 people were killed in Sudan when a military aircraft crashed into a residential area in Khartoum, the capital, officials said yesterday.
The wreck was one of the deadliest plane crashes in the country’s recent history, and it has added to the devastation of nearly three years of civil war.
The cause of the crash was not identified. The Sudanese military said that the plane was carrying civilians and military personnel, and that it had crashed Tuesday evening while taking off from an air base. The base is crucial to the military’s plans to retake the city.
