QUETTA, Pakistan — A Pakistan navy helicopter crashed Monday during a routine training flight in southwestern Pakistan, killing all three crew members on board, the navy said.
The Sea King helicopter crash in Gwadar, a coastal city in the southwestern province of Balochistan, was apparently caused by a technical problem, the navy said in a statement.
He did not provide further details, saying an investigation into the accident had been launched.
Video of the crash posted on social media reportedly showed the helicopter spinning as it apparently tried to regain control and then broke apart and fell to the ground.
Accidents during training missions are quite common in Pakistan.
Authorities rarely release details of military training accidents, and investigative reports are also not made public. In September 2022, an army helicopter crashed during a night mission in Balochistan, killing all six servicemen on board.
