The crash comes a month after an IAF aircraft crashed in the compound of a student hostel during a training sortie.
A similar incident happened some 200 kilometres north-west of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital city, on Tuesday.
Two Malaysian military helicopters collided mid-air and crashed, killing all 10 crew members onboard.
