Two Russian pilots have died after their helicopter crashed near the city of Homs, Syrian.
The aircraft, an M-28H attack helicopter, was not shot at, Russia’s defence ministry said. The crash happened in the early hours of Tuesday, the ministry said. The bodies were recovered and brought to Russia’s Hmeimim air base.
Russia joined the Syrian conflict in September, with air strikes in support of President Bashar al-Assad.
Russia withdrew most of its forces from Syria but officials said in March they would continue air strikes.
