Two pilots killed in Afghanistan military helicopter crash
Two pilots were killed Sunday when a US-made military helicopter crashed in the north of Afghanistan, the country’s defence ministry said.
“An MD-530 helicopter of the country’s air force, which was flying from Mazar-e-Sharif airfield towards Samangan, collided with an electricity pylon,” the defence minister tweeted.
In September, a Black Hawk helicopter commandeered by the Taliban government after the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan crashed during a training session in Kabul, killing two pilots and a crew member.
