Members of the New Zealand Defence Force rescued passengers from a plane crash in Papua New Guinea.
According to Australian media reports, at least three people were killed when an Hevilift twin otter crashed near Mt Lawes, just north of Port Moresby, on Saturday.
It is unclear how many people were on board when it crashed, with reports indicating either eight or nine.
According to Radio New Zealand, members of the New Zealand Defence Force were training near the crash site and were able to reach it after being alerted.
Central Province police commander Asi Laimo told Radio New Zealand the crash survivors were lucky the Kiwi defence staff were nearby.
