Report said that a Sri Lankan Air force flight has crashed in the central part of the country, killing all four people on board.
Air force spokesman, Capt. Gihan Seneviratne said the aircraft, a
Chinese built Y-12, crashed in the Haputale district, some two hundred
kilometers east of the capital Colombo.
Two pilots and two other crew members were on the Chinese-built
aircraft, which was on an observation mission.
According to the report, a woman at the scene where the aircraft
crashed sustained injuries and is receiving treatment at a hospital.
Investigations are underway into the cause of the crash, but initial
reports said that adverse weather with misty conditions in the
mountains area may have contributed.
