A military helicopter has crashed in an incident that preliminary reports suggest may have been caused by a sudden mechanical failure. Witnesses state that the aircraft went down shortly after appearing to experience difficulties in mid-air.
Images circulating online depict a large transport helicopter flying at low altitude, followed by photos of the wreckage scattered across a barren area. Some images feature a black ribbon graphic, signaling fears of casualties. However, authorities have yet to confirm the number of injuries or fatalities.
