The US military said a charter plane carrying eight people crashed near a remote radar facility in western Alaska on Thursday, killing all on board.
The plane crashed while approaching the Cape Newinham Radar Center Airfield, about 725 kilometers west of Anchorage.
The US National Transportation Safety Board said there were two pilots and six passengers on board the plane, which had taken off from Anchorage.
American officials have said the plane belonged to a civilian contractor and further details about the identities of the victims and the cause of the crash have not yet been released.
