A private helicopter, chartered by Marri Petroleum Company, crashed during takeoff in North Waziristan, a tribal district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The helicopter was carrying a crew and 11 passengers, including three Russian pilots, when it went down, resulting in the deaths of four individuals.
Initial reports indicate that the crash occurred shortly after takeoff, likely due to technical issues. The injured survivors were immediately transferred to a military hospital for medical treatment.
Authorities have confirmed that the incident was not linked to militancy, and investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the crash.
