Istanbul, Dec 9 (AFP) Dec 09, 2024
Six Turkish soldiers died Monday when two helicopters collided during a training exercise in the southwestern Isparta province, the authorities said.

"Two helicopters collided during a training flight and one of them crashed," provincial governor Abdullah Erin told TRT Haber public television.

Both Erin and the defence ministry initially said five soldiers were killed but later raised the toll to six after one of the wounded died in hospital.

The second helicopter was able to land safely, the authorities said, without saying what had caused the crash.
