A Tunisian military helicopter crashed in the north of the country, killing the pilot and the co-pilot, the state news agency reported on Monday, citing the Ministry of National Defence.

Iran PressAfrica: Two air force officers were killed and two injured on Monday when the helicopter crashed during a routine patrol, the Tunisian Ministry of Defence said.

“The co-pilot was killed during the crash and the pilot, who was severely injured, was swiftly transported to the regional hospital in Bizerte, where he died,” defense ministry spokesman Mohamed Zekria stated.

In early October, three Tunisian soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash during a nighttime training exercise in the southern region of Gabes. 219
