A Russian cargo plane has been shot down in Sudan, rebel forces claim.

The Ilyushin IL-76 is said to have crashed and burst into flames in the country's far western reaches of Darfur.

Sudanese rebels from the Rapid Support Forces claim they targeted the aircraft for aiding the Sudanese military.

The paramilitary force has been at war with the army since April 2023.

They said in a statement: 'All foreign mercenaries aboard the aircraft were eliminated in the operation.'

Russia said its diplomats were investigating the incident.
