In South Sudan

An airstrike in Sudan's capital Khartoum on Saturday killed at least 17 people, including five children, health officials said, as fighting continued between rival generals seeking to control the country.

An Antonov plane crashed in Sudan's western Darfur province, RIA Novosti reported, citing information on the Al-Arabia television channel.

The plane crashed immediately after taking off five kilometers from El Geneina Airport.

15 people have been reported dead, including the crew.
