Two service personnel from the RAF have been killed following a helicopter crash in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.
The UK Puma Mk 2 helicopter crashed while landing at the headquarters of Nato's Resolute Support mission in the capital Kabul earlier today.
An MoD spokeswoman said: "The incident is currently under investigation but we can confirm that it was an accident and not the result of insurgent activity.
