Yakup Canbolat told reporters that the crash was likely due to “a technical reason” because weather conditions were “fit for flying”.

The governor also said that following the civilian training plane crash, two houses and two vehicles were damaged, as reported by dailysabah.com.

According to the Turkish news outlet, the plane had been flying near the Yunuseli Airport, which they say is a hub for training flights.
