A military helicopter gunship unfortunately crashed into a residential house in the western Ntoroko district of Uganda.
According to Brigadier General Felix Kulayigye, the spokesperson for the Ugandan army, the unfortunate incident took place near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday. Tragically, the entire helicopter crew and an individual who happened to be in the house at the time of the crash lost their lives.
The sudden and tragic collision has left the community in a state of shock, leading to immediate investigations into the circumstances surrounding this devastating accident.
The far-reaching consequences of this unexpected tragedy are bound to extend beyond the immediate area, prompting inquiries into the safety measures and operational aspects that could have played a role in the unfortunate loss of the military aircraft.
The Ugandan army has been carrying out airstrikes against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) militants, who have been responsible for a number of attacks in Ntoroko.
The activation of paramilitary local defence units has been requested by President Yoweri Museveni to provide support to the army in combating the militants.
