From the Wikipedia article
On 2 March 2021, a Let L-410 Turbolet of South Sudan Supreme Airlines crashed in Pieri, Uror County, South Sudan on a domestic flight to Yuai Airstrip, South Sudan.
Accident
The aircraft crashed immediately after taking off from Pieri Airstrip, South Sudan on a domestic scheduled passenger flight.
There were 8 passengers, plus two crew on board. The South Sudan Civil Aviation Authority, who are investigating the accident, announced that the flight suffered from an engine failure about ten minutes after takeoff.
