In Sudan, an Antonov military aircraft crashed on Tuesday after taking off from the Wadi Seidna air base, north of the capital Khartoum. At least 19 passengers were killed and five others were injured. According to reports, several high-ranking officers of the Sudanese army were among the victims.
The crash occurred shortly after takeoff, and the exact cause of the accident is not yet known. Rescue workers were quickly on site to rescue the survivors and secure the accident site. Sudan has been repeatedly affected by serious aviation accidents in recent years, raising concerns about the country's air safety standards.
Such an accident at a time of political and military instability in Sudan increases concerns about the country's security and infrastructure. There were several similar incidents last year, raising questions about the maintenance and flying standards of the air force. Further investigations into the Antonov crash should now shed light on the causes.
