A deadly plane crash in the Democratic Republic of Congo has claimed the lives of 14 people, including two senior military justice officials, after a small aircraft went down in Kenge, Kwango province, on September 25. The aircraft was reportedly returning from Kikwit to Kinshasa when it encountered trouble in flight and crashed while an emergency landing was apparently being attempted. The aircraft crashed in Kenge's Manzawu area and caught fire after impact. Initial reports said there were no casualties reported on the ground. The FARDC has launched an investigation to establish the exact circumstances and cause of the crash, meaning reports of a technical failure remain part of the preliminary account and have not been confirmed as the definitive cause.
