At least 17 people were killed and 40 injured when a Philippine military aircraft carrying troops crashed and burst into flames after missing the runway in the south of the country, officials said.

Ninety-two people, most of them recent army graduates, were onboard the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft when the accident happened as it tried to land on Jolo island in Sulu province at about midday on Sunday.

“So far 40 wounded and injured were rescued and 17 bodies recovered,” the defence secretary, Delfin Lorenzana, said in a statement.


C-130 aircraft, the work horses of the air force, are used to transport troops and supplies. They are also deployed to deliver humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.

The crash was one of the country’s deadliest military aviation accidents.

Sen Richard Gordon said it was the fourth this year with “mass casualties”. “Are we buying defective crafts w the people’s money?” he tweeted.
