A commercial plane crashed late on March 2 in South Sudan, killing all 10 people on board, according to the governor of Jonglei state. 

Ten people including eight passengers and two pilots lost their lives after South Supreme Airlines flight HK-4274 bound for the capital Juba took off from the town of Pieri in Jonglei state and crashed, said Denay Jock Chagor.

The death toll in South Sudan from the explosion of a fuel truck this week has risen to 182, a regional official said on Sept.18.

The blast occurred on Sept.16 as crowds gathered around the tanker to gather fuel after it had veered off the road. An official had earlier said the toll could keep rising as South Sudan did not have adequate facilities to treat the burns.
