A military helicopter crashed in northern Greece Tuesday killing all three people on board, officials said.

The cause of the accident was unclear.
The army said the helicopter had taken off from the Alexandria military base, some 40 kilometers west of Thessaloniki, and was en route to a special forces camp near the lake.
