Narrative:
An Antonov 12 transport plane suffered an accident near Khartoum, Sudan. Fifteen occupants were reportedly killed in the accident.
The airplane carried military personnel and equipment to El Fasher, Sudan. En route the airplane developed engine problems. The airplane crashed as the crew attempted an emergency landing. The aircraft broke up.
Conflicting reports suggest the aircraft involved was either ST-ASA (402010) or ST-ARV (msn 7345310). The Soviet Transports production history database claims ST-ASA was seen unmarked at Khartoum, October 22, 2012.
