At least 22 people were killed when two Ugandan military helicopters crashed in east Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday, a Congo army spokesman who did not wish to be named told Reuters on Wednesday.
Uganda sent troops to its central African neighbour in December to help fight a violent rebel group known as the Allied Democratic Forces.
"The [Uganda People's Defence Force] have not yet told us the circumstances of the crash," the spokesman said without providing further detail.
