These types of incidents happen quite often in the sparsely populated and harsh weather conditions of Russia’s far-east. Three years ago, a total of eight individuals lost their lives in a tragic accident when a sightseeing helicopter plunged into a body of water in Kamchatka.

In a video posted on Telegram, Kamchatka Governor Vladimir Solodov announced that rescuers had found the wreckage of the helicopter on Sunday in a mountainous region at an altitude of 900 meters.

Aircraft found close to location where it went off the radar

Video footage from Russia’s emergency situations ministry depicted helicopter remnants scattered on a steep incline near the summit of a dense hill. The ministry reported that the aircraft was discovered near the area where it disappeared from the radar.

A government representative, Ivan Lemikhov, stated that 17 bodies have been discovered so far. “The rescuers have set up camp and the search has halted until daybreak,” he added.
