A Turkish evacuation plane was shot on Friday as it landed at an airbase outside Sudan’s capital, Khartoum.
A Turkish military plane on a mission to evacuate Turkish citizens from conflict-torn Sudan came under gunfire, the Turkish National Defense Ministry said on Friday.
A Turkish C-130 evacuation plane, which was headed to Wadi Seidna Air Base for the evacuation, came under small arms fire, said a ministry statement.
The plane landed safely, and no injuries were reported, the statement added.
Earlier, speaking on the continuing evacuation, the ministry said: “The first group of our citizens was safely brought to Türkiye by planes belonging to the Turkish Armed Forces.”
Evacuation efforts will continue until all Turkish citizens are transported out of Sudan, it added.
