Two dead bodies were recovered from the site where a combat helicopter of the army helicopter crashed in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Siang district on Friday.
According to reports, the armed Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) crashed in a mountainous area near Migging village at 10:43 am. The helicopter, carrying army personnel, was on a regular sortie after taking off from Likabali this morning.
As there are no motorable roads leading to the village, except a hanging bridge, three joint teams of both army and the air force are engaged in the rescue op with one Mi-17 and two Dhruv helicopters. Local villagers are also said to be involved in the rescue work.
Visuals show part of the wreckage in flames. While a video shows smoke emanating from the site of the crash.
