UPDF Chopper Crashes Near Spennah Beach In Entebbe

A chopper belonging to the UPDF Air Forces has crashed at Entebbe near Spennah beach, the Newslex Point has learned.

A female pilot was flying the chopper when it crashed around 2 pm on Thursday near the beach.

Security has since cordoned off the area not allowing anyone to come close to the scene of the crash where the wreckage of the chopper is.

They have also burred journalists too from getting closer to the scene of the crash.

Authorities have dispatched ambulances to the scene to help evacuate the injured officers. A source however reveals that no one has died in the incident.

“The pilot looks critical but alive,” the source added.

When contacted for a comment, the deputy UPDF spokesperson, Lt Col Deo Akiiki referred an NBS reporter to the Civil Aviation Authority.

“Consult the Civil Aviation Authority because I don’t have such information yet,” Akiiki told the reporter.

However, the Civil Aviation Authority spokesperson, Vianney Luggya also referred us back to the UPDF.

“It is not a civil aircraft. Therefore, it is UPDF or UPDAF to provide details,” Luggya said.
