A military aircraft crashed in Ondo state, killing 25 people, including five crew members and 20 passengers, according to Nigerian military officials. The plane, identified as NAF 931, was on a routine mission when the accident occurred. The military confirmed the number of casualties and is investigating the cause of the crash.
The crash took place in Ondo state, a region in southwestern Nigeria. Initial reports suggest the aircraft was conducting a standard operational flight when it encountered an unexpected issue. The military has not yet released details about the cause of the crash, though it is expected to provide an update in the coming days.
This incident marks the second major aviation disaster in Nigeria this year. In March, a similar military plane crash in Lagos resulted in 18 deaths. Both incidents have raised concerns about the safety and maintenance standards of the Nigerian Air Force. The military has pledged to review its protocols and improve safety measures following these tragedies.
