18 people have died after a military helicopter crashed in Ethiopia's Oromia region, the state-affiliated news agency Fana said.
The 15 soldiers and three civilians on board were killed.
The aircraft crashed on a flight between the eastern city of Dire Dawa and the Ethiopian air force headquarters in Bishoftu, a resort town southeast of the capital Addis Ababa, the agency said.
There was no immediate word on exactly where the helicopter came down and whether there were any casualties or damage on the ground.
Addisu Arega, an Oromia regional cabinet minister, confirmed the Fana report and said: "All passengers on board died. The cause is under investigation.
"Our condolences to the families."
In 2013, an Ethiopian military cargo plane crashed in Mogadishu, killing four crew members.
