All 14 people aboard were killed when an aircraft crashed in South Sudan.

On the 27th (local time), according to Reuters and the Associated Press, South Sudan's civil aviation authority said in a statement that at about 7:15 a.m., an aircraft took off from Juba International Airport, the capital of South Sudan, and crashed about 20 kilometers away. There were no survivors, and among the dead, 12 were South Sudanese and two were Kenyan nationals.

Authorities said initial findings indicate the crash occurred because poor weather reduced visibility, and the cause is under investigation.
