Residents of the area where the aircraft fell reported that it had fallen behind a hill and that they had previously seen it flying at a low altitude. However, due to the spectacular accident, no injuries or deaths were reported due to the maneuver carried out by the pilot.

Apparently the Navy aircraft did not suffer considerable damage either, but the authorities still have not reached the site because it is an area that is difficult to access.

Until now, it is unknown what type of operation the Navy elements were carrying out in that place and why they were flying at such a low altitude.

Several special units of the Sedena left Culiacán, with the intention of entering the site of the accident and helping the crew members, with whom they had already managed to communicate.

This is the second mishap that has occurred this week with a Navy aircraft after yesterday an incident was reported with a helicopter that had taken off from the flight deck and shortly after fell into the sea in Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán.

In the accident that occurred yesterday with the Panther type aircraft three members of the Navy diedtwo were missing and three more had been rescued alive.
