The Philippine military says three air force personnel were killed when a Bell UH-1H Huey helicopter carrying supplies to troops fighting militants on a southern island crashed after its engine lost power.
The helicopter lost engine power as it approached military Camp Baladad and attempted a precautionary landing but crashed into Mount Sinumaan, Patikul township, Sulu province, on Jolo island.
The helicopter hit the ground hard and rolled down a hill. Three crew members were killed and the fourth was injured.
