Two people have been killed after a private helicopter crashed at a recreation centre in Russia’s Perm region, Russian authorities and local media have said.
The two-seater aircraft came down at the Ashtali Park recreation centre in the Bardymsky District of Perm region.
Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations said two people were killed in the crash, rescue crews were deployed shortly after the incident, and there was no damage on the ground.
“Unfortunately, two people were killed as a result of the helicopter crash. There is no destruction on the ground,” the ministry said, adding that around 40 responders and 14 pieces of equipment were deployed to the scene.
According to Russian local media, the victims were Perm-based millionaire Ilyas Gimadutdinov, founder of the transport company Tattranskom, and Elmir Konyakov, head of the company’s vehicle column.
Russian media reported that the helicopter was a Robinson R44 Raven owned by the company and was conducting an unauthorised flight.
In a further update, Russia’s Ural Transport Prosecutor’s Office released footage from the crash site showing the helicopter had become entangled in cables. A formal investigation into the incident is under way.
Authorities said the crash posed no danger to others at the recreation centre.
