Syria: Two pilots killed and two crew members injured after regime helicopter crash in Latakia

The helicopter came under technical defect over the coastal region during a training mission on Thursday, Syrian officials said.

“The crew were forced to make an emergency landing over a mountainous area, as two army staff were killed while three others have survived,” the SANA news agency quoted a military source as saying.

Meanwhile, civil defense teams have been working on putting the fire down amid the deployment of security forces at the site of the accident. (ILKHA)
