The Russian military said one of its helicopters crash-landed in an uninhabited area north of Moscow on May 19, 2020, killing all crew members.
The Defense Ministry said the incident involving a Mi-8 helicopter occurred late Tuesday near the town of Klin, about 56 miles from Moscow. The incident may have been caused by a technical malfunction, officials said.
