Two United States marines have been killed when their helicopter crashed southwest of Agadir in Morocco.

美军一架直升机在摩洛哥阿加迪尔西南部地区坠毁，两名海军陆战队员丧生。

Another two soldiers were injured in the accident, which happened during joint¹ military exercises with Moroccan forces on Wednesday.

The helicopter, reportedly a MV-22 Osprey, apparently² crashed after taking off from the USS Iwo Jima warship⁴.

The crash is now being investigated as a "helicopter incident", a US embassy official told the Reuters news agency.

It happened in a military training area during the annual "African Lion" joint military exercises at Cap Draa.

Around 1,200 US marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen have been in Morocco since the start of April.

The two wounded soldiers have been taken to a military medical facility in Guelmim, 730km (450 miles) south of the capital Rabat.

Further information is being withheld⁵ until the next of kin³ have been notified.
