An Italian helicopter supporting the EUFOR peacekeeping mission in Bosnia crashes during training near Brčko, killing four crew members and injuring 11 others, with details of the exact casualty counts varying slightly by outlet.
Multiple reports say the aircraft was a CH-47 Chinook and that the crash happens during routine or training operations. The crash is described as occurring in or near the Brčko district, and at least one outlet cites hospital information indicating casualties among the crew. Metro and others also describe video or footage showing the helicopter spiralling before impact.
Outlets also note that the EUFOR mission says it launches an investigation into the crash. Several sources add that civilians were not affected and that no civilian property or infrastructure was damaged, framing the incident as confined to the military aircraft and its crew. While casualty figures are broadly consistent around four dead and about a dozen injured, some outlets report “at least” or “reportedly” lower figures, reflecting differing timing or sourcing.
