At least one civilian and six Indian Air Force (IAF) officers were killed on Wednesday after a Mi-17 chopper crashed near Garend Kalan village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam.
According to reports, the accident happened due to a technical glitch, killing the pilot and the co-pilot along with crew members.
The incident occurred on a day IAF fighter jets crossed the Line of Control (LoC) and destroyed the "biggest" JeM terror camp in Pakistan's Balakot in a pre-dawn strike on Tuesday.
