A U.S. military service member and three defense contractors died Thursday in the Philippines after their surveillance flight crashed, officials say.
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said the aircraft contracted by the Department of Defense went down in the southern province of Maguindanao del Sur and "was providing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support at the request of our Philippine allies."
"The incident occurred during a routine mission in support of U.S.-Philippine security cooperation activities," U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement to Fox News.
"We can confirm no survivors of the crash. There were four personnel on board, including one U.S. military service member and three defense contractors," it added.
