Two Kenya Air Force pilots have died after being involved in a plane crash in Viramboni village, Ndavaya, Kwale County.

According to reports, the aircraft, a Grob 120A model, experienced an emergency while on a training flight around midday, leading to the accident.

"Earlier today, 14th June 2025, a Kenya Air Force Grob 120A aircraft experienced an emergency while on a training flight in the general area of Mwakijembe Primary School, Ndavaya, Kwale County. On Board were two pilots. Recovery is ongoing," KDF said in a statement.
