A US military plane with nine people on board has crashed in central Albania.
There are believed to be no survivors in the crash near the town of Gramsh, some 80km (50 miles) south-east of Tirana, Albanian officials say.
The plane hit a mountain after apparently flying too low in the uninhabited region, reports say.
The aircraft was taking part in joint exercises with the Albanian military, an Albanian defence ministry spokesman told the Associated Press news agency.
The incident occurred at about 2000 local time (1800 GMT), with local villagers speaking of hearing a loud explosion.
The Albanian News24 television station reported that the crash site was hard to reach, adding that a helicopter war seen circling the area.
