Seventeen Turkish soldiers have died after their helicopter crashed in southeastern Turkey in bad weather, an official has said.
The Sikorsky aircraft came down on Herekol mountain, in the Pervari district of Siirt province, according to local governor Ahmet Aydin.
The victims were members of gendarmerie special forces, he said.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash which reportedly happened in thick fog.
The helicopter was transporting troops to Pervari, where the Turkish army has been involved in a land operation against Kurdish rebels for three days, security sources told AFP.
Last month, a Sikorsky crashed in southeastern Diyarbakir province after it hit power lines, killing one soldier and wounding seven.
