Fourteen people who included two Kenyans died after a plane they were flying in crashed in Juba, South Sudan.
Authorities said the aircraft, operated by CityLink Aviation, was coming from Yei and likely crashed due to bad weather.
The tragic aviation incident was confirmed by the South Sudan Civil Aviation Authority following the crash of a Cessna 208 Caravan approximately 20 kilometers southwest of Juba.
The aircraft, registration 5Y-NOK and operated by CityLink Aviation Ltd, had departed Yei at 9:15 a.m. en route to Juba International Airport.
Communication with the plane was lost at around 9:43 a.m.
On board were 14 people—13 passengers and one pilot.
The group included two Kenyan nationals and 12 South Sudanese nationals. Authorities have confirmed that there were no survivors.
Preliminary findings suggest the crash may have been caused by adverse weather conditions, particularly poor visibility. Response teams have been deployed to the crash site to begin investigations and coordinate recovery efforts.
The SSCAA expressed condolences to the families of the victims and indicated that more information will be released as investigations progress.
