The Sudanese Army has confirmed the deaths, including four soldiers, according to the pan-Arab news television channel Al Hadath. There were 20 people on the plane. The injured have been transferred to the Hospital of Port Sudan.
The device crashed after takeoff and due to a “technical failure”, according to military sources quoted by the Sudanese newspaper ‘Sudan Ajbar’.
