The crash occurred in Maguindanao del Sur in the southern Philippines

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules was one of two refurbished U.S. Air Force aircraft handed over to the Philippines, Washington's oldest treaty ally in Asia, as part of military assistance this year.

Chief of Staff Gen. Cirilito Sobejana did not immediately say how many people were on board the aircraft.
