DRC Military Jet Crash Kills 13 in Kwango; Aviation Herald Revokes 2025 Go2Sky Report
A military aircraft crashed in the Democratic Republic of Congo on September 25, 2026, killing all 13 people on board, including General Likulia Bakumi. The plane, traveling from Kikwit to Kinshasa, experienced a technical issue and attempted to land in Kenge, Kwango province, but crashed into a residential area due to the lack of a landing strip. Separately, The Aviation Herald issued a formal revocation of a 2025 report regarding a Go2Sky Boeing 737 incident, admitting the original claim of engine trouble was false following a defamation lawsuit in Austria.
