A Pakistan Army helicopter crash-landed in the troubled Balochistan province today, killing one soldier and injuring two others.
The aviation helicopter was shifting an injured Frontier Corps (FC) soldier from Kohlu area in Quetta, capital of Balochistan, when it was forced to make an emergency landing, the Army said.
One soldier was killed, two crew members were injured while two pilots remained safe, it said in a statement.
Aviation accidents in armed forces are not uncommon. A training plane crashed last month in Lahore, injuring two pilots.
In October last year, a pilot of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was killed after his Mirage jet crashed near Karachi's Musharraf Colony.
On September 24, 2016, a Flight Lieutenant was killed when an F-7 aircraft went down near the town of Jamrud, near the entrance to the Khyber Pass.
Marium Maukhtiar, one of Pakistan's few female fighter jet pilots, was killed in a training crash in November 2015.
