Residents near the crash site are still in shock after a military aircraft tragically went down, killing all occupants on board. Eyewitnesses, who were going about their daily routines, say they watched in horror as the plane struggled mid-air before its fatal descent.
According to several accounts, the aircraft appeared to be flying lower than usual when it suddenly began making unusual turns. One witness claimed the plane tilted sharply to one side, almost as if the pilot was trying to regain control. “It was swaying and making a strange noise, like something was wrong with the engine,” said a boda boda rider who was waiting for passengers nearby.
Another resident, who was working in her farm, recalled seeing smoke coming from the rear part of the aircraft moments before it lost altitude. “I saw a trail of smoke, then it dipped forward. The sound became louder, then there was silence before the loud crash,” she recounted, her voice trembling.
Some locals believe the pilot may have been attempting an emergency landing in an open field, but the plane seemed to lose power completely. Witnesses say it narrowly missed several houses before slamming into the ground, erupting into flames.
Emergency teams rushed to the scene, but by then the fire had consumed much of the wreckage. Security forces quickly cordoned off the area as investigators began piecing together what could have gone wrong.
For the community, the tragic scene will remain etched in memory. “It’s something I will never forget. One moment it was in the sky, the next it was gone,” said a shaken shopkeeper.
Authorities have assured the public that a full investigation is underway to uncover the cause of the crash and prevent such tragedies in the future.
