A Yemenia Boeing 737-200 flying cargo flight IY626 from Sana'a landed at Khartoum in a sandstorm. The captain chose a straight-in approach to runway 36 instead of the assigned runway 18. After touchdown the aircraft veered off the runway, struck small concrete blocks and the nose gear collapsed. All five crew escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
