Seven Turkish security personnel lost their lives when a reconnaissance plane crashed Thursday on a mountain in the eastern province of Van in Turkey.
The plane crashed at an altitude of 2,200 metres on Mount Artos in Van late on Wednesday.
The aircraft took off from Van Ferit Melen Airport at 1535 GMT.
The 2015 model-plane was missioned for reconnaissance and surveillance in Van and Hakkari provinces since Monday, the interior minister said.
He said the pilots contacted the tower for the last time when they were around the Baskale district at 1932 GMT.
