ARK News… Official news agencies quoted the Russian Defense Ministry as saying that a Russian Mi-35 helicopter had made an emergency landing due to technical problems while flying over Hasaka province in northern Syria.

The Russian Information Agency quoted a statement by the Ministry of Defense: “The crew was evacuated to the landing pad quickly. There is no risk to any of the pilots' lives.

It added that the plane was not hit by any fire.

The agency said that there is "news of the fall of a Russian helicopter between the villages of Reyhanli and Qasimiyah, which are located west of Tal Tamr district in the northwestern countryside of Hasaka, and reports that the pilot was killed and other crew members were injured."

In turn, a source close to the Syrian regime forces said that the Russian forces in the region evacuated the wounded and began investigations about the crash of the plane.
