There may have been casualties when two US Army Black Hawk helicopters crashed during a training operation over Kentucky in the US.
According to a statement released on Thursday by army spokesperson Nondice Thurman, the crew members' conditions were unknown at the time. The number of passengers on board the aeroplane was unknown.
According to Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, deaths were anticipated, and the state's emergency management agency was responding.
In Fort Campbell, there have been preliminary reports of a helicopter crash, and fatalities are anticipated, he tweeted. The 101st Airborne Division was the owner of the two HH-60 Black Hawk chopper aircraft.
Two Black Hawk helicopters were being flown by crew members when they crashed in Kentucky's Trigg County at around 10:00 pm (02:00 GMT) on Thursday, according to Thurman.
The cause of the collision is being looked into. Taking care of the service personnel and their families is the command's main priority, she said.
