Two Kenya Defence Forces members died Saturday when their military plane crashed near Mwakijembe Primary School. The Kenya Air Force training aircraft went down around noon in Ndavaya area of Kwale County. Flight records show the plane left Mombasa airport at 11:39 am and disappeared from radar screens. Witnesses watched the aircraft crash about 27 minutes after takeoff. Emergency teams rushed to the accident scene for rescue operations.

The crashed plane carried registration number KAF 718 and was a Grob 120A training aircraft. Both pilots aboard the small military plane died in the accident. Air force investigators arrived quickly to examine the wreckage and determine what caused the crash. Police officers secured the crash site and began their investigation process. Recovery teams worked to remove the aircraft remains from the remote location.

Kenya Defence Forces confirmed the tragedy through social media posts Saturday afternoon. Military officials described the incident as an emergency during routine pilot training exercises. The cause of the crash remains unknown as investigators examine all evidence. Defence Forces personnel expressed grief over losing two experienced pilots during peacetime operations. Military aviation accidents are rare but create serious concerns about flight safety procedures.
