A helicopter carrying relief supplies to flood-hit areas in north-western Pakistan crashed on Friday, killing all five crew members, officials confirmed. The MI-17 aircraft, operated by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, went down in the Pandiyali area of Mohmand district while en route to deliver aid to rain-affected Bajaur. Provincial Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur said the victims included two pilots, and blamed the crash on poor weather conditions. The region has been reeling under relentless monsoon rains, which have triggered flash floods, landslides and large-scale damage to homes and infrastructure.
