A U.S. Army MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter assigned to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment crashed during a routine training flight in Washington State, resulting in four fatalities, officials reported.
Four U.S. soldiers died after an MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, belonging to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, crashed on September 17 during a routine training mission west of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, near Capitol Forest in Washington State.
The crash caused a small forest fire covering approximately 0.4 hectares. Rescue teams were dispatched to the scene, and the area was secured. The identities of the deceased soldiers have not yet been released pending notification of their families.
This incident follows previous accidents at the same base, including a 2023 crash in the Eastern Mediterranean that resulted in five fatalities and a 2024 Apache helicopter crash that left two pilots injured.
The U.S. Army Special Operations Command has initiated an investigation into the cause of the crash. No further details have been released at this time. (ILKHA)
