A plane crash happened in Sudan yesterday. The plane fell in a place called Omdurman, which is next to the main city of Khartoum. Forty-six people died, and ten people were hurt when this happened.
The plane was a big Russian-made airplane called an Antonov. It crashed right after it took off from an air base on Tuesday evening. Both army officers and normal people who lived nearby died.
Nobody knows for sure why the plane crashed. Some army people think there is something wrong with the plane itself. This crash happened just one day after a different group of fighters said they shot down another plane in a place called South Darfur.
Sudan has a big fight going on right at this moment. Many parts of the country are broken because of this fight. Thousands of people have died, and about 12 million people had to leave their homes.
After the crash, emergency teams came quickly to help. They took hurt people to a hospital nearby. Even children were among those who needed help. An important army leader was one of the people who died.
People who saw the crash said they heard a loud boom. Many houses were damaged when the plane hit the ground. The crash also made the lights go out in houses near the crash spot.
Sudan has been having a civil war since April 2023. Two groups are fighting each other - the army and another group called RSF. The army controls some parts of the country, and the RSF controls other parts. In recent weeks, the army has been taking back some areas from the RSF.
