GUWAHATI,OCT. 21: An Army helicopter crashed in the mountainous Arunachal Pradesh on Friday morning.

Defence sources said the incident occurred at Migging near Tuting in Upper Siang district at 10:43 am. Search operations were in progress, the sources added.

It was not immediately known how many people were on board the chopper. In viral videos, plumes of smoke can be seen rising from a mountain.

Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) crashed near the Tuting area in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Siang district today at around 10:40 am today, according to Defence PRO, Guwahati.

Jummar Basar, Superintendent of Police Upper Siang, told ANI over the phone, “The site of the accident is not connected through the road. A rescue team has been rushed and all other details are awaited.”

Earlier on October 5 this year, an Indian Army pilot lost his life in a Cheetah helicopter crash near the Tawang area of Arunachal Pradesh.

“The Cheetah helicopter flying in forwarding areas near Tawang crashed at around 10:00 AM during a routine sortie. Both the pilots were evacuated to the nearest Military Hospital,” Army officials had said.
