Tragedy struck in Cambodia as the wreckage of a military helicopter, missing for over two weeks with two pilots on board, was finally spotted on a mountaintop in the dense Cardamom Mountains. Despite the discovery, no survivors were immediately found, leaving a somber cloud over the search and rescue mission.
The difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions have hindered efforts to reach the crash site and assess the situation. A photo circulating on social media revealed the helicopter in pieces, buried under foliage, reflecting the severity of the incident.
This unfortunate event echoes a similar tragedy in 2014 when a Chinese-made Z-9 helicopter crashed in a pond near Phnom Penh, claiming the lives of two air force generals and two pilots. As the recovery team continues their search for potential survivors, the nation braces itself for the final outcome of this heartbreaking saga.
