A twin-engine aircraft suffered a total loss of power while enroute, resulting in an emergency belly landing in a desert area near Lul. The crew survived the incident without injury, though the airframe was destroyed by fire.

What happened

During the enroute phase of flight, the aircraft experienced a simultaneous failure of both engines. This critical mechanical issue forced the crew to initiate an emergency landing procedure. Unable to maintain controlled flight or reach a prepared runway, the aircraft executed a belly landing in a remote desert area located in Lul, northeast of Malakal.

The impact resulted in the destruction of the airframe. A post-crash fire subsequently broke out, consuming the wreckage completely. Despite the severity of the crash and the total loss of the vehicle, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board.

Probable cause

The accident was attributed to a dual engine failure that rendered the aircraft inoperable during flight.
