A Polish Air Force’s M-346 type light attack aircraft crashed on the runway at Lotnisko Gdynia – Kosakowo Airport during the rehearsal flight of the Naval Aviation Brigade’s 30th anniversary demonstration yesterday. Experienced pilot Robert Jel lost his life in the plane that was engulfed in flames.
While the cause of the accident is not yet known, the Polish army suspended the flights of all M-346 type aircraft.
Landslides triggered by heavy rain have killed 7 people and left at least 21 missing in southern China. In Guizhou province, 2 were confirmed dead and 19 are still unaccounted for in Qingyang village, where rescue efforts involving 400 personnel continue. Authorities issued alerts for nearby Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, warning of further landslide risks. Similar rainfall last week killed 7 in Guangdong and Guangxi.
