A Syrian military helicopter crash-lands in a rugged mountainous area during a training mission in the country’s northwest, leaving two of the five crew members dead.
State media quotes an unnamed military official saying that the helicopter experienced technical problems while flying over the coastal province of Latakia.
The official provides no detail on the condition of the three crew members who survived.
