An Mi-8 helicopter belonging to Russia’s emergency ministry crashed into a lake in the country’s northern Karelia region on Monday, killing three crew members, the ministry stated, adding that an underwater search was underway.
On Telegram, the ministry wrote, “The plane was on a training flight”.
“The helicopter was flown by an experienced crew with thousands of flight hours”, the ministry added.
The wreckage of the helicopter, which vanished from radar late on Sunday, was discovered 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) off the shore of Lake Onega, Europe’s second largest lake, in Karelia, at a depth of 50 metres (164 feet).
The ministry stated that divers and a remote-controlled underwater vehicle were being sent. It provided no information on the crew members’ current status.
The Karelia region is separated into two parts: the Finnish Karelia region and the Russian Republic of Karelia, which is located in northwestern Russia, between the White and Baltic seas, where the helicopter crashed.
