The accident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday near Sourton, a village in Devon. The helicopter went down at approximately 4:00 a.m. local time while participating in a routine training operation.
The Ministry of Defence expressed its condolences to the families and friends of the victims, describing the incident as a tragic loss. Emergency services responded quickly to the crash site, where investigations are now underway to determine the cause of the accident.
Royal Navy officials said details surrounding the crash remain limited as authorities work to establish what happened. The families of the deceased personnel have requested privacy while they are informed and supported.
General Gwyn Jenkins, head of the Royal Navy, confirmed that a full investigation has been launched. Officials are expected to release additional information once preliminary findings become available.
UK Prime Minister said he was being kept informed about the situation and extended his thoughts to the families affected by the tragedy.
The crash occurred in an area near several military installations, including naval facilities in Devon, one of the United Kingdom’s key defence regions.
