Two Egyptian air force officers were killed on Tuesday when a helicopter crashed during a training exercise, the military said.

The helicopter went down near a key air base in the town of Shalufa, in Suez province, "due to a technical malfunction", military spokesman Gharib Abdel Hafez said in a post on his official Facebook page.

He did not specify the manufacturer or model of the aircraft.

The Egyptian air force operates aircraft from various countries, including France, Russia and the United States.

In November 2022, the military said a fighter jet had crashed during a military exercise but it reported no casualties.

In December 2019, an aircraft crashed during a training exercise. The pilot ejected safely.
