Three people died on Monday when a Nigerien military helicopter crashed on return from a routine training flight, the defence ministry said. The accident happened when the Russian-built Mi-17 crashed as it was landing at a military base at Niamey airport. "Unfortunately, all three crewmembers -- a Nigerien officer and NCO and an expatriate instructor -- died immediately despite efforts by rescue services to put out the fire," it said in a statement. An investigation has been launched, the statement said.

The defence ministry separately said Monday that "25 terrorists" were killed last week "from an air strike" in the western region of Tillaberi.
