Three pilots were killed when two attack helicopters of the US Army crashed in central Alaska, while they were returning from a training mission.
The army announced, according to news agencies, that the two planes crashed after their participation in military exercises in Alaska, in the second such accident in less than a month.
The army statement quoted the US Army’s 11th Airborne Division as saying that the two Apache helicopters crashed near Hili, Alaska.
He added: The incident is under investigation, and more information will be revealed when it becomes available.
A similar incident occurred in late March, when two US Army Black Hawk helicopters crashed during a training flight in Kentucky, killing all 9 soldiers on board.
