ANKARA: A military training plane has crashed in central Turkiye, killing the two pilots aboard, the defence ministry said on Tuesday.

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 carcass of a plane in an agricultural field.
Firefighters, rescuers and police were working at the site, according to images by the state Anadalu agency.
