The President Rafael Correa of Ecuador announces military aircraft went down in
Amazonian jungle, killing all 19 soldiers and three crew on board. Nineteen soldiers had been heading to a parachuting course when the
aircraft went down in the Pastaza province of the country’s Amazon
region.
Two pilots and one mechanic, also members of the army, were also killed.
“There are no survivors,” Correa said. “It’s a tragedy.”
The cause of the crash was not immediately clear.
