The pilot and co-pilot were killed in the crash. Officials confirmed that no passengers were on board at the time of the accident.
Emergency teams were dispatched to the scene, while aviation authorities launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.
The incident has renewed attention to aviation safety procedures and the challenges faced by flight crews when responding to technical failures shortly after takeoff, one of the most critical phases of flight.(ILKHA)
