What happened
While performing a flight from Nangade toward Nampula, the aircraft was struck on its right engine by a Strella (SAM-7) surface-to-air missile. Following the impact, the crew initiated an emergency diversion to Mueda.
Due to the ongoing situation, the crew attempted an emergency landing at the Nacatári-Chapa training airstrip. Because the runway length was insufficient for the aircraft's stopping distance, the plane overran the end of the strip before coming to a halt. While there were no fatalities or injuries reported, the aircraft was determined to be a total loss.
Findings
Investigations concluded that the primary factor in the incident was that the aircraft was hit by ground fire during its transit.
