LCIII Chairperson Jack Magezi confirmed that the helicopter crashed into Mukidi’s house, resulting in his immediate death. The UPDF, through spokesperson Felix Kulyige, officially acknowledged the incident on X (formerly Twitter), expressing regret for the Helicopter Gunship crash in the Karugutu-Ntoroko District area.

Maj Naboth Mugisha, UPDF Airforce spokesperson, classified the crash as accidental and assured that more details would follow. Eyewitnesses recounted the helicopter hitting a house rooftop, causing a subsequent fire. Maj Mugisha emphasized the ongoing determination of incident specifics, reiterating it as an accident. He refrained from disclosing information about the helicopter’s occupants.

This incident echoes a similar event in September 2022 when a UPDF Mi-24 helicopter, carrying two individuals, crashed near Ssaka Airfield in Kabarole District.
