The fatal accident, attributed by sources to technical reasons, occurs when the military advances in the center of Sudan and the capital against RSF.
A Sudanese military plane has crashed in a residential area on the outskirts of the capital, Jardum, killing several officers and civilians.
The plane crashed Tuesday night during the take -off of the Wadi Seidna military airport in northern Omdurman, part of the Great Jardum, leaving more than 20 people dead, according to military sources cited by the Reuters news agency.
The sources told Reuters that the plane crash was probably due to technical reasons.
According to the reports, Major General Bahr Ahmed, a main commander in Jardum, was among the dead.
The Army, which has been at war with the paramilitary rapid support forces (RSF) since April 2023, issued a statement on Tuesday saying that military and civilian personnel had been killed, without providing more details.
“The injured have been taken to the hospital and fire fighting teams managed to contain the fire at the scene of the accident,” said the statement.
The residents in northern Omdurman reported a strong explosion of the accident, which damaged several houses and caused power outages in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Karari's Resistance Committee, part of a network of volunteers that coordinates help in Sudan, reported that 10 organizations and several injured people were taken to the Al-Nao hospital in Omdurman, said a report from the AFP news agency.
'More climbing'
The war in Sudan, who killed tens of thousands, exploded after a crack emerged between the head of the Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan army and the RSF commander Mohamed Hamadan Daglo on the future structure of the government.
Currently, the army is making significant advances in the center of Sudan and Jart in its offensive of several fronts against the RSF.
The plane crash occurred one day after the RSF was responsible for demolishing a Russian -made Ilyushin plane in Nyala, the capital of southern Darfur.
On Monday, the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, warned about “more climbing” after the RSF and its allies declared that they would form a parallel government in areas under their control.
The UN says that the conflict has uprooted more than 12 million people, causing the largest hunger and displacement crises in the world.
