A private helicopter crash on the Greek island of Sifnos kills three people, according to officials and media reports. The incident occurs shortly after takeoff, and the pilot and two passengers die at the scene. Emergency services respond, and local media broadcast images and video showing the crash aftermath.
Both outlets report that footage circulating online appears to show flames and a column of dark smoke rising from a hillside. Cyprus Mail describes the site as arid terrain and notes a ball of flame creating the smoke plume. Euronews similarly points to circulating video footage showing what appears to be the crash location. Neither report identifies the victims or the operator, and the cause of the crash is not yet determined in the available coverage.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances of the crash. Further details are expected as officials assess evidence from the scene and any available flight information.
