Five crew dead after helicopter crash in Pakistan
The crash killed five crew members including two pilots during a mission to deliver aid amid heavy monsoon floods that caused 164 deaths in northern Pakistan, officials said.
- On Friday, an MI-17 helicopter of the provincial government crashed in the Pandiyali area of Mohmand district, killing five crew members including two pilots, Ali Amin Gandapur said.
- In flood-hit areas, rescue efforts were challenged by relentless monsoon rains, and contact with Gandapur's helicopter was lost due to suspected bad weather.
- Soon after the crash, the government involved another helicopter for relief operations, and rescue teams have been dispatched to the crash site.
- The provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa declared Saturday a day of mourning with national flags at half-mast and will bury the fallen crew members with full state honours.
- In the past 24 hours, authorities confirmed at least 160 people were killed amid heavy rains in Pakistan, as the monsoon season has claimed over 370 lives and injured more than 740.
