At least five people were killed when a cargo plane crashed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the government said on Thursday.
The plane went down in Kalehe village in South Kivu province on Wednesday after it took off from Goma, the capital city of North Kivu province, Transport Minister Cherubin Okende told reporters.
Among the casualties were three crew members, he said.
Okende attributed the accident to bad weather.
“A very experienced pilot was in control. He did everything to land, but he could not due to bad weather,” he said. (Anadolu Agency)
