- 5 years ago
The burnt wreckage of two Ugandan army helicopters was found Tuesday, two days after crashing in a remote mountainous region of Kenya while flying to war-torn Somalia, army officials said.
"The aircraft have been found but they are all burnt," a senior Kenyan military official said. "We do not know the fate of the crew."
Kenyan army spokesman Bogita Ongeri confirmed the aircraft had been found.
"The helicopters were sighted by a fixed-wing aircraft somewhere around Mount Kenya," Ongeri said, adding that officials would release more information later in the day. "The rescue efforts are ongoing."
There was no news of the reported 10 servicemen onboard the two helicopters.
