A Turkish military plane on a mission to evacuate Turkish citizens from conflict-hit Sudan has come under gunfire.
the Turkish National Defense Ministry in a statement on Friday revealed that the plane, Turkish C-130, headed to Wadi Seidna Air Base for evacuation of its citizens in Khartoum, came under small arms fire.
However, according to TRTWorld in the statement, the plane landed safely, and no injuries were reported.
Reacting to the report, the Sudanese army accused the paramilitary, Rapid Support Forces, of shooting at the Turkish military jet.
But the RSF denied firing at the plane insisting that the Sudanese army was spreading lies.
In spite of the development however, the Turkish ministry revealed that the first group of our citizens was safely brought to Türkiye by planes belonging to the Turkish Armed Forces.
