At least 46 people killed after Sudanese military plane crashes in residential area

# At least 46 people were killed when a Sudanese military transport plane crashed into a residential neighbourhood on Khartoum’s outskirts. The Antonov aircraft went down last night near Wadi Seidna air base, one of the army’s largest military hubs in Omdurman, northwest of the capital. The army, which has been at war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, said the plane crashed during takeoff, killing and injuring both military personnel and civilians.
