An Indian Army helicopter with three persons onboard crashed today in a forest area in Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir, media reports said quoting Army officials.
All three injured personnel, including two pilots and a technician, have been rescued and taken to Command Hospital, Udhampur, according to Indian Army.
In a statement, the Indian Army said that an ALH Dhruv helicopter on an operational mission tried to make a precautionary landing on the banks of the Marua river in the Kishtwar region of Jammu and Kashmir after reporting a technical fault to the Air Traffic Controller (ATC).
“Due to the undulating ground, undergrowth and unprepared landing area, the helicopter apparently made a hard landing,” Northern Command of the Indian Army said in a statement.
A court of inquired has been ordered, the statement read.
