| India recovers bodies from wreckage of helicopter in Kashmir (VIDEO) | |
| (about 4 hours later) | |
| Indian police told media they have removed 7 bodies from the remains of what was reported to be a Mi-17 transport helicopter that fell near the city of Srinagar in Kashmir. It remains unclear if aircraft was downed or crashed. | |
| RT’s video news agency Ruptly captured footage of the crash site, where smoldering remains of the aircraft were scattered over a significant area. Armed guards were placed around the perimeter to keep the growing crowd at a distance. | |
| Police told NDTV that 6 Air Force officers and a civilian died in the crash. | |
| Indian officials earlier said that poor weather and technical failure were responsible for the accident, though different death tolls had been cited. | |
| It is uncertain what relationship – if any – the crash site has to Pakistan’s claims that it shot down an Indian aircraft that subsequently landed in the New Delhi-controlled sector of the contested Kashmir region, which emerged at the same time on Wednesday as the initial reports of the helicopter crash. | |
