A police helicopter crashed in southern Turkey late on Saturday, killing two police officers and injuring one, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said in a post on X.

The helicopter took off from Hatay airport and was heading to Gaziantep airport, Yerlikaya said, adding that it lost contact at 10:29 p.m. (1949 GMT).

The helicopter crashed near Kartal village in Gaziantep's Nurdagi district, Yerlikaya said, without commenting on the cause of the crash.
