Pakistan Army plane shot down by Baloch, 6 soldiers including two Majors killed
Six army officers, including two Major rank officers of the Pakistan Army, have died in a helicopter crash. The incident took place in Harnai area of Balochistan on Monday morning. ISPR, the media wing of the Pakistan Army, said that two pilots were also among the soldiers who died in the accident. In fact, this is the second incident of helicopter crash in Balochistan within the last two months. Earlier in August a similar incident had happened. Then the Balochistan rebel organization took responsibility for the helicopter crash. In such a situation, doubts are also being raised about this incident whether the rebels had targeted the plane.
At present, no information has been given by the Pakistan Army, but the matter of investigation has definitely come to the fore. Earlier on August 1, a Pakistan Army helicopter crashed in the area of the rebels in Balochistan itself. In this incident, 6 people including Lieutenant General Sarfaraz Ali were killed. This chopper crashed in Lasbela district of Balochistan. Initially it was believed to be an accident, but the very next day Baloch rebels claimed that they had shot down the plane.
In such a situation, there are speculations about this incident as well. However, at present, the Pakistan Army is avoiding saying anything and is talking about saying something only after investigation. The Pakistan Army says that only after the investigation of the engineers, it will be known what really happened to the plane. Leader of the Opposition in Pakistan Fawad Chaudhry said that flying helicopters is becoming dangerous. Only the engineers will investigate this accident, then it will be known whether there was a defect in the plane or there was an attack. He said that all those who died were young and it is a big loss for the army as well.
