A Cessna aircraft crashed on Monday southwest of Juba, the capital of South Sudan. All 14 people on board, consisting of 13 passengers and the pilot, were killed in the accident.
The country's civil aviation authority stated that preliminary reports suggest the crash may have been caused by adverse weather conditions that led to poor visibility. A team has been dispatched to the crash site, located approximately 20 kilometers outside the capital, to support emergency services and gather further information.
Officials reported that two of the victims were Kenyan nationals, while the rest were South Sudanese. Videos shared on social media depicted the remains of the aircraft in flames within a mountainous and misty area.
