Kenya’s Military Helicopter crashes, several Soldiers dead
No fewer than 23 Kenyan soldiers are feared dead after a military helicopter crashed close to Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) say rescue operations are under way.
The aircraft was on a training mission when it crash-landed in the Ngong area, a KDF statement says.
A military statement did not give the actual number of fatalities.
Injured soldiers have been airlifted to a military hospital in Nairobi, the statement adds.
It is still unclear how many soldiers were onboard the helicopter but local media reports say 23.
Aircraft accident investigators are at the crash site to establish the cause of the accident, the military says.
