This is the rumour, unconfirmed and obviously subject to embellishment.

D-HAXI, with a French crew, crashed coming out of Daya, There were reportedly 16 pax, and a crew of 3. Daya is about a 45 minute flight to the nearest fuel, and with Daya being around 6000 ft and normally around ISA plus 30 degrees, the aircraft was obviously working hard.

The aircraft apparently "ran out of power (Eng fail?)"

There was some kind of post crash fire and the aircraft will not fly again.

No word on the condition of the casualties

As I said unconfirmed, and probably totally lacking in fact, but this is a rumour network!
