    The government said that surviving the crash of a plane in South Sudan killed 20 oil workers for enduring a crash of a plane in South Sudan.

    The plane heading towards the capital crashed the unified oil field three minutes from Take Nare on Wednesday morning, Puot Kang Chol said.

    Among the victims are five foreigners. There are two Chinese, one Indian and two Ugandan crew members. All 15 other victims were South Sudanese.

    The cause of the crash has not been determined, but authorities said they are investigating it.

    “Our idea and the meaning of sadness come to the families and loved ones of those who are riding this incredibly difficult time,” Chol said.

    All male oil workers worked for the Greater Pioneer Company (GPOC), and the planes were run by the Light Air Services Aviation Company.

    GPOC is a joint venture that includes state-owned oil companies in India, China, Malaysia and South Sudan.

    It was intended to be a daily exploration mission.

    South Sudan's aviation infrastructure is not developed enough and the national safety record is inadequate.

    Air accidents are common and are frequently blamed for aircraft overload or weather conditions.

    Five people died in 2021 after a cargo plane carrying fuel for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) crashed near Juba.
