Crews are rushing to the scene in Nevada.
An aircraft crashed soon after takeoff from Nellis Air Force Base Monday afternoon, officials from the base confirmed on Twitter.
The “contractor-operated aircraft” crashed just outside the southern edge of the base around 2:30 p.m. local time, according to officials.
It is not immediately known if there are any injuries or fatalities, officials said.
A base official told ABC News the crash involved a non-Air Force contractor-operated aircraft flown by a non-Air Force pilot.
The base uses contractor aircraft that routinely fly training missions, according to the official.
Multiple federal and local first responders are on scene to investigate, officials said.
