Two British Royal Air Force personnel and three others died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan on Sunday (Oct 11), the defense ministry said in a statement.
The five were killed when the helicopter crashed while landing at the headquarters of the Resolute Support international NATO coalition in the Afghan capital Kabul.
The nationality of the three others who died was not immediately clear. Five other people were injured.
"The incident is currently under investigation but we can confirm that it was an accident and not the result of insurgent activity," the defense ministry said in a statement.
The two RAF casualties were from the 230 and 33 Squadrons of the Royal Air Force, the statement added.
