A Mi-8 helicopter crashes in the Altai region of Russia, killing at least six people and injuring seven others.

Earlier, in May, an Mi-8 helicopter crashed in the Bryansk region of Russia. The accident occurred near the village of Volkustichi is 70 km from the Russian border. All crew members were killed.
On the same day, two Mi-8 helicopters and one Su-34 fighter jet were shot down in the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation. The Russian media are already reporting that the fighter jets were flying to launch a missile and bomb attack on the Ukrainian Chernihiv region. And the helicopters were supposed to pick up Su-34 crews if they were shot down by the Ukrainian army.
As a result, the Su-34 crashed near the Ukrainian border, and the fate of the people on board is still unknown. At first, local residents thought that the Ukrainian Armed Forces plane had flown “so far away,” but one of them noticed the insignia of the Russian Federation on the wreckage. But two pilots of the helicopter shot down over the Mi-8 blades were killed.
The “Interception” plan was announced in the territory of the Klintsovsky district of the Bryansk region. They are looking for saboteurs who may have been involved in the attack on the Mi-8 and Su-34.
