The accident occurred "during the landing" of the helicopter in the Gafsa region in southern Tunisia, as reported by Mohamed Zekri, the ministry's spokesperson, to AFP.
"The two soldiers forming the helicopter crew were transported to the Gafsa hospital, where one succumbed to his injuries while the other remains in stable condition," added the spokesperson.
