Debris of Armenian military helicopter found in Karabakh

Wreckage of a military helicopter of the Armenian Armed Forces, shot down during the autumn 2020 war, was found in Nagorno-Karabakh.

After the above war, the remains and bodies of 1711 persons were found in the territories that came under Azerbaijan's control, the Nagorno-Karabakh's Emergency Service reported on February 23. The searches began after the end of hostilities, and were interrupted several times, including due to Azerbaijan's refusal to allow Karabakh rescuers to continue their searches.

Today, fragments of an MI-8 helicopter of the Armenian Armed Forces were found in the territory of the village of Tug of the Khodjavend District (the Armenian name is the Martuni District, – note of the "Caucasian Knot"), the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence (MoD) has reported.

It was established that these are the debris of the MI-8 helicopter with the crew of the Armenian Armed Forces, shot down by units of the Azerbaijani Air Forces on October 18, 2020, in the vicinity of the village of Tug, the Khodjavend District.
