UNITED NATIONS – A U.N. peacekeeping official says at least 10 United Nations staff members have been killed in a plane crash in Congo.

U.N. peacekeeping spokesman Nick Birnbeck said Monday that the death toll could rise. He says the small passenger plane was carrying an assortment of U.N. staff, including peacekeepers, when it crashed and broke up on impact earlier Monday.

The U.N. mission in Congo includes more than 19,000 uniformed peacekeeping troops. The mission is charged with protecting civilians in the conflict-torn country from violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, including all forms of sexual and gender-based violence.
