According to SUNA, a state news agency, the victims were killed in the helicopter crash in Sudan’s eastern al-Qadarif today.
“The state’s governor and three security officials were among the dead. A number of people were also injured in the incident,” says SUNA. The officials had been carrying out a security tour of the province.
