Turkish military officials have announced that an AS 532 Cougar military helicopter got entangled in high-voltage power lines, leading to a crash that killed thirteen Turkish military personnel.

The crash occurred at about 7:40 PM local time, just three minutes after take-off.

It took place near the town of Uludere in the Senoba district of Sirnak Province, less than 40 miles from Turkey’s border with Iraq.

Turkish military forces are embroiled in conflict with Kurdish PKK militants who are based out of Sirnak’s mountain ranges.
