Sudan in mourning. After it started, the military planes collapsed and many people were killed.
There was a tragedy in the outskirts of Khartoum. As reported by the Sudanese army, 46 people, including many officers and civilians, were killed in the catastrophe. The machine crashed shortly after its launch, and the AFP agency unofficially decided that the military had reported technical issues on the aircraft, but the cause of the accident was investigated.
Military Antonov crashed on Tuesday evening near Wadi Sedona Air Force Base, one of the Army’s largest military centres in Omdurman, in the northwest of the capital.
The Army has been fighting fast-supporting paramilitary forces (RSFs) since April 2023, but announced that the plane crashed shortly after its launch. A total of 46 people were killed and another 10 were injured in the disaster.
As reported by the AP agency, the “number of buildings” was destroyed as a result of the accident. Second, military sources – in an interview with French AFP – show that the Antonov aircraft accident was a technical failure.

Sudan. Conflict between the Army and the RSF escalates
The tragic events only happened for a few dozen hours after the RSF admitted to shooting down Nyara, the capital of southern Darfur.
“The final escalation of the conflict comes after significant advances in the Central Sudan army and the significant advances in the Khartoum capital in multiple attacks on the RSF,” reads AFP.
The Sudanese army and the High Speed Support Forces (RSF) have been at war since mid-April 2023. According to the United Nations and local governments, the conflict has consumed more than 20,000 lives. It resettled the people and the country’s 14 million residents. A survey conducted by American university experts estimates the number of victims to be around 130,000.
