A military training plane has crashed in central Turkey, killing the two pilots aboard, Agence France-Presse reported on Tuesday, citing the defense ministry.
The plane took off from a military base in Kayseri on a training flight and later crashed for as yet unknown reasons, the ministry said.
Images on Turkish media showed black smoke billowing from a charred, half destroyed plane in an agricultural field.
Firefighters, rescuers and police were working at the site, according to images by the state-run Anadolu news agency.
“I express my condolences to our martyrs’ families, to our heroic army and to our nation,” Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya wrote on X.
