It's not yet clear what caused the crash, but it occurred in the middle of a heavy thunderstorm. The four killed were Moldovan citizens, according to officials. The wounded came from Moldova and France. The French military operates a base near the city's airport in support of missions fighting Islamist extremists in West Africa.
