Background and Flight Details
A cargo flight operated by a crew of two—one Russian and one Congolese—departed from Bukavu en route to Shabunda. The aircraft was carrying various goods with a total weight of 1,300 kilograms. The flight was performed without any reported issues until the landing phase.
Accident Sequence
After touchdown, the aircraft traveled approximately 300 meters along the runway. At that point, it is believed that the tire on the right main landing gear burst. Following the tire failure, the aircraft veered off the runway and eventually collided with banana trees. The impact with the trees caused substantial damage to the aircraft.
Aftermath
Both pilots emerged from the incident uninjured. However, the aircraft sustained damage that was beyond repair. The specific location of the accident (the airport at Shabunda or the surrounding area) and further details about the aircraft itself were not disclosed in the source.
