Sudanese Military Plane Crashes into Residential Area, Killing at Least 46

The crash near Omdurman highlights the ongoing toll of Sudan's violent conflict, with both military personnel and civilians among the victims.

A Sudanese military Antonov aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from the Wadi Sajidna airbase near Omdurman, killing at least 46 people, including soldiers and civilians.
The crash occurred in a densely populated residential area in the Karrari district, causing significant destruction and civilian casualties.
Authorities have reported 10 injuries, including two young siblings, with victims taken to the Nau Hospital in Omdurman for treatment.
The cause of the crash remains unclear, though military sources suggest possible technical issues, while the RSF recently claimed responsibility for shooting down another military plane in a separate incident.
The tragedy underscores the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict between Sudan's military and the RSF, which has displaced millions and led to severe humanitarian crises.
