Jakarta (IINA) – At least 20 people were killed Tuesday after an Indonesian military transport plane crashed into a residential neighborhood in the northern Sumatra city of Medan.
Air force spokesman Dwi Badarmanto said the C-130 Hercules aircraft with 12 crew on board went down into a residential area, shortly after taking off from a base in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra province.
According to new figures, Adam Malik hospital spokeswoman Sairi M. Saragih told AFP that the hospital had received 20 bodies. Previsous figures indicated that five people were killed in the incident, and that a rescue effort was underway to try to find possible survivors.
