Turkey grounds C-130 fleet after deadly Georgia crash kills 20

A military plane carrying 20 soldiers crashed in Georgia on Tuesday while flying from Azerbaijan to Turkey.

This sad event resulted in the highest number of Turkish soldiers lost in a single accident in years.

The soldiers were part of a team that maintains Turkish F-16 fighter jets.

Officials are investigating the cause of the crash, examining the plane's black box data.

As a precaution, Turkey has temporarily grounded all its C-130 planes until they can be thoroughly checked.

The investigation involves both Turkish and Georgian authorities working together.

The plane had been updated and recently maintained, but its exact condition before the crash is part of the ongoing inquiry.
