Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Emergency Situations reported today (28 July) that a fragment of a military helicopter, which vanished from radar during a scheduled flight on Friday, has been found in the Almaty region.
According to the Ministry of Defence, on the 25th of July, an EC-145 helicopter belonging to the Air Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan disappeared from radar in the Almaty region.
Preliminary reports indicate that three crew members were on board.

According to the Ministry’s report, aircraft fragments—believed to be from the missing helicopter—were found at the site.
