9 Soldiers Killed After Army Helicopters Collide Over Kentucky

All of the soldiers on board the two helicopters — four on one and five on the other — were killed, General Lubas said. He declined to provide details about any of the soldiers until their families had been notified.
“This is a truly tragic loss for our families, our division and Fort Campbell,” he said.
Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky said during the news conference that news it was a tragic day for Kentucky and for Fort Campbell.
“We must remember that that freedom relies on those who are willing to serve, some of which pay the ultimate price,” Mr. Beshear said.
Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III said he would work with Army leaders “to make sure our troops and their families receive the care that they need in the wake of this accident.”
