Sudan Army accuses paramilitary force of shooting at Turkish plane
ANKARA (AA) – The Sudan Army has accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of opening fire on a Turkish plane in the north of the capital Khartoum.
The army said in a statement that a Turkish C-130 military plane was hit by RSF fire while preparing to land at Wadi Seidna airport, causing fuel system damage and injuring one of its crew members.
The plane, however, safely landed at the airport, and maintenance work was carried out, it added.
The Sudan Army warned RSF fighters not to attempt to obstruct evacuation efforts by other countries with such “dangerous behaviors.”
Early on Friday, the Turkish National Defense Ministry confirmed that its C-130 military plane came under fire as it was on an evacuation mission for Turkish citizens stuck in Sudan.
