An aircraft incident involving U.S. military personnel occurred mid-morning on Sunday during an exercise in Australia's Northern Territory, Australia's Defense Department said.
Sky News Australia reported a V-22 Osprey helicopter with about 20 U.S. Marines on board had crashed off the coast of Darwin and a search had begun. Meanwhile, Australian public broadcaster ABC reported that multiple military personnel had been rescued from the crash site and there were no reports of fatalities.
"Initial reports suggest the incident involves United States defense personnel and that Australian Defense Force members were not involved," the ministry said in an emailed statement.
It said the incident occurred on Melville Island north of Darwin during Exercise Predator's Run 2023.
