Five troops were killed Tuesday when a Chinook helicopter crashed in an area west of Baghdad, the Army announced in a press release.

The CH-47 aircraft went down near the Al Taqaddum air base in Iraq’s Anbar province while conducting a routine post-maintenance check flight, the release said.

All five crew members, which the Army described as “coalition force service members,” were killed and the crash is under investigation.

The names of those who died were not released as of Tuesday afternoon, pending notification of next of kin.
