WASHINGTON: Seven US Marines and four aircrew were missing on Wednesday after an army helicopter crashed during a training exercise in Florida, the military said.

The UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter was reported missing on Tuesday around 8.30pm (0030 GMT Wednesday) near Eglin Air Force Base while the area was under heavy fog.

Base spokesman Andy Bourland said search and rescue teams located debris from the aircraft around 2.00am (0600 GMT).

"Search and rescue efforts are underway at the accident site currently," he added, noting the accident was under investigation.

A second helicopter returned safely to the base. The aircraft, assigned to the 1-244th Assault Helicopter Battalion in Hammond, Louisiana, were participating in what the military called a routine training mission with the Marine Special Operations Regiment from Camp LeJeune, North Carolina.
