An Antonov An-26 cargo plane crashed during landing at Yida Airstrip, South Sudan.
Of the four crew members and three passengers, three persons suffered minor injuries.
According a Ruweng Administrative Area official statement foggy/hazy weather could have been a causal factor in the accident.
Photos and videos of the aftermath indicate that the left-hand main gear had collapsed with a fire erupting in the area of the left-hand wing. The fire quickly engulfed the aircraft.

Correction, this looks more like an Antonov 26 than a Fokker 50, the tail configuration aligns more to that of an AN-26 than a F50. pic.twitter.com/4bYjzYcOno
