Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant is warning people not to pick up debris spread up to 5 miles around the site of a Marine Corps plane that crashed Monday in a rural soybean field. Officials say it could take as long as a week to collect all the debris. The cause of the cargo plane crash, which killed 15 Marines and one Navy corpsman, remains under investigation.

A U.S. military plane crashed in rural Mississippi on Monday evening, killing at least 16 people, officials said. The KC-130 aircraft, which set off from the Marine Corps Air Station in Cherry Point, N.C., spiraled into a field some 85 miles north of Jackson in the Mississippi Delta. At a press briefing, Emergency Management Agency Director Frank Randle said authorities recovered 16 bodies from the crash site. Marine Corps spokeswoman Capt. Sarah Burns said in a statement the aircraft “experienced a mishap” but provided no details on what might have caused the crash.

Military leaders will ask Defense Secretary Jim Mattis for a six-month delay in deploying new rules for allowing transgender Americans to join the service. The Army and Air Force reportedly wanted a two-year wait, but the chiefs feared that request would generate too much opposition on Capitol Hill. Transgender service members can already serve openly in the military, but the Obama administration gave leaders until July 1 to develop policies for recruiting, housing, and uniforms for transgender troops.

The U.S. Navy’s 7th fleet has identified the seven sailors from the USS Fitzgerald who died when their destroyer collided with a Philippine-flagged container ship off the coast of Japan early Saturday.

UPDATE: The bodies of sailors who were missing following the collision between the USS Fitzgerald and a container ship early Saturday have been found aboard the damaged destroyer. The U.S. Navy released a statement Sunday morning saying search and rescue workers discovered the bodies when they gained access to the flooded berthing compartments on the ship. The remains are being transferred to Naval Hospital Yokosuka, where they will be identified. The Navy will release the names of the sailors after families are notified.

An Afghan soldier wounded at least seven U.S. soldiers Saturday in an insider attack at Camp Shaheen in Mazar-e Sharif. Abdul Qahar Araam, a spokesman for the 209th Army Corps, said U.S. soldiers returned fire and killed the attacker. Gen. Dawlat Waziri, a spokesman for the Afghan Defense Ministry, also confirmed the incident. It was the second such insider attack by an Afghan soldier in the past week.

The Pentagon successfully tested a defense system against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) on Tuesday, taking a step toward neutralizing the North Korean threat. The interceptor launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and collided outside the Earth’s atmosphere with a test missile fired from the Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. Despite Tuesday’s success, U.S. defense systems don’t have a good track record against ICBMs.
