An Ilyushin 76 cargo plane struck trees and the roof of a house as it was on final approach to Juba Airport, South Sudan in inclement weather. The flight crew initiated a go around with jet blast damaging a second house. A five-year old girl sustained fatal injuries and four others sustained less serious injuries. The aircraft returned to Entebbe, Uganda. Local reports indicate that the undercarriage of the aircraft was damaged to parts of the house's roof being entangled in the main gear.
