Four military officers were killed Wednesday after a military plane crashed in Myanmar’s political capital Nay Pyi Taw.

“Four crews were killed and one was seriously injured,” local media quoted a military official who spoke on conditional of anonymity as saying.

The military aircraft, a Beech 1900, had five crewmembers on board during a training session at the time of the accident near the international airport in Nay Pyi Taw.
