00:00 In a sombre turn of events, tragedy struck during a routine training mission over the

00:07 East Mediterranean Sea.

00:09 Five US soldiers lost their lives in a military helicopter crash, marking a devastating incident

00:14 reported by US officials this Sunday, November 12.

00:18 The military's European command said all five crew members on board were killed when

00:22 the aircraft went down during a routine air refuelling mission as part of military training.

00:28 The military first announced the crash on Saturday, November 11 and said that the cause

00:33 is under investigation, but there are no indications of any hostile activity involved.

00:39 It said that search and rescue efforts began immediately, including nearby US military

00:44 aircrafts and ships.

00:45 US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement, "We mourn the tragic loss of

00:51 five US service members during a training accident in the Mediterranean Sea early Saturday

00:56 morning.

00:57 While we continue to gather more information about this deadly crash, it is another stark

01:02 reminder that the brave men and women who defend our great nation put their lives on

01:07 the line each and every day to keep our country safe."

01:11 The United States has deployed two aircraft carriers along with supporting ships and dozens

01:15 of aircraft to the eastern Mediterranean since Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel to act

01:21 as a deterrent to ensure the conflict does not expand.

01:25 European Command said that "Our respect for the families of the service members and in

01:29 line with Department of Defence policy, the identities of the crew members are being withheld

01:35 for 24 hours until the families of those killed have been modified."

01:40 The identity of the military service to which the aircraft belong remains unclear.

01:44 Responding to the situation, the Air Force has deployed additional squadrons to the region.

01:49 Notably, the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, equipped with various aircraft, has been actively

01:55 engaged in operations in the eastern Mediterranean.
