A Cuban military plane crashed into a hillside in the western province of Artemisa, killing eight troops on board, the Cuban government said.
In a written statement, the ministry of the revolutionary armed forces said the twin-engined turboprop Antonov AN-26 took off from the Playa Baracoa airport outside Havana and crashed into a hillside outside the town of Candelaria about 40 miles away.
"The eight military personnel on board, including the crew, died," the statement published by state-run media said, adding that a commission is investigating the causes of the accident.
