The Sudanese army announced in a press release on Sunday that nine individuals were killed in a jet crash in Port Sudan, a coastal city in Sudan.
According to Anadolu Agency, the army said that there were four military personnel on board and that a technical issue caused the disaster.
Nine persons, including four military personnel, were killed when a private Antonov plane crashed today at Port Sudan Airport due to a mechanical issue. “One child survived the collision,” read a statement from the military spokesperson’s office.
Port Sudan in the Red Sea state is one of the cities that have been under the control of the Sudanese army since the war broke out in the country on April 15 this year.

The crash occurred after more than three months of fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the capital Khartoum and states in western Sudan.
Thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced since the start of the war in Sudan, which was already suffering from tribal clashes and economic troubles.
