A Tragic Incident
On July 24, Nepal witnessed a tragic plane crash that left the nation and the world in mourning. A domestic plane operated by Saurya Airlines, carrying 19 people, including a Yemeni national and a child, slipped off the runway and crashed while attempting to take off from Kathmandu's airport. The crash resulted in the loss of at least 18 lives. The pilot, who sustained injuries to his eyes, is currently receiving treatment and is not in any life-threatening danger, according to a doctor at Kathmandu Medical College Hospital.
The plane, scheduled to fly to the resort town of Pokhara, took off at 11:11 a.m. local time. Moments later, it turned right and crashed in the eastern section of the airport. Following the accident, services at Kathmandu airport were briefly halted before resuming.
