A Pakistan Army Mi-17 helicopter crashed near Muzaffarabad (the regional capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir) on Wednesday during take-off due to a technical fault, killing all personnel on board. The military's media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), confirmed there were no survivors and said rescue and recovery teams reached the site immediately, while a board of inquiry has been ordered to determine the exact cause. President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir all expressed condolences to the families of those killed, with the crash marking the latest in a series of Pakistani military helicopter accidents in recent years.
