The shoot-down happened on or before August 17, and was not reported immediately. The local Press claims that the missile was a Sam-7 captured from the Sudanese army. The civil flight was en route from Malakal in the south to Khartoum, which is some 500km away. The SPLA has given warnings that even relief flights are liable to attack in the southern province which it controls.
