A Frontier Corps (FC) soldier was martyred in a helicopter crash-landing in Quetta on Thursday, the army’s media wing said in a press release.
An army aviation helicopter was conducting medical evacuation of the injured soldier from Kahan, Kohlu to Quetta, according to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) handout.
Two crew members were also injured in the crash; however, two pilots remained safe during the crash landing.
Last year, an Army Aviation aircraft crashed near South Waziristan’s Wana stadium, resulting in injuries to three officers.
The Mashak aircraft had taken off from Wana field strip for Kohat. The crash took place due to a technical fault in the air-conditioning system and the engine of the plane, the ISPR had stated.
