A U.S. Marine and three Pentagon contractors died after their aircraft went down in the Philippines Thursday, officials said.
The crew was on a “routine mission” providing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support at the request of the Philippines, according to a release by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command officials.
The crash occurred in the Maguindanao del Sur, a Philippine province located in the southern region of the country.
The Indo-Pacific Command release referred to the plane as a “contracted” aircraft and an INDOPACOM official confirmed it was a Beechcraft King Air 350.
