Cambodian helicopter spotted crashed on mountain 17 days after being lost. No survivors seen

Cambodia’s Defense Ministry and state media reports say that the wreckage of a Cambodian military helicopter that went missing more than two weeks ago with two pilots aboard has been spotted on a mountaintop.

The wreckage of a Cambodian military helicopter that went missing more than two weeks ago with two pilots aboard was spotted Monday on a mountaintop with no survivors immediately seen, the government and state news agency reports said.

A Defense Ministry statement posted on its Facebook page said that a search flight spotted the wreckage of the Chinese-made Z-9 helicopter in the heavily forested Cardamom Mountains in the southwestern province of Pursat.

Military recovery personnel have been sent to the crash site, but it will be difficult to reach because it is densely forested and the weather is bad, the ministry said.
