Devastation after a NATO helicopter crashes into a house in Kabul, Afghanistan - killing 12 Turkish soldiers on board and four Afghan civilians.
Wreckage and debris litter the site as relief workers and Turkish soldiers cover the bodies with blankets.
The Turkish foreign minsister said the crash was caused by a technical fault.
Two women and two children were amongst those killed, according to local officials.
The crash comes amid growing unease among NATO partner countries on the increasingly unpopular and costly war.
Turkey has more than 1800 soldiers in Afghanistan but their mission is limited to partrols and they do not take part in combat operations.
Most foreign troops are set to leave the country by the end of 2014.
