Eight people have died after a helicopter crash in West Kalimantan province, Indonesia. Authorities said contact was lost five minutes after taking off from a plantation area in Melawi.
"The location of the crash or loss of contact is in a densely forested area with steep hilly terrain," Syafii said, saying rescuers had found debris suspected to be the tail of the Airbus H130 helicopter approximately 3 km (2 miles) west of where contact was lost.
A spokesperson from the local rescue agency said the six passengers and two crew members onboard had died.
The cause of the crash remains unclear.
Rescuers, including military and police personnel, were trying to reach the crash site via land routes on Friday.
The plantation area was owned by an Indonesian palm oil company, Citra Mahkota, and the helicopter belonged to Matthew Air Nusantara, Syafii said.
