Helicopter crash kills 9 Thai soldiers



Nine persons have been confirmed dead in an army helicopter crash in Thailand, the military officials said on Tuesday.

The Army spokesman, Col. Winthai Suvaree told newsmen in Bangkok.



He said that the Deputy Commander of the Third army, Maj.-Gen. Songphol Thongjeen, was among those killed when the helicopter went down in Phayao province 700 kilometres north of Bangkok on Monday.

Suvaree however said that investigations were under way.

According to the report, the aircraft was a Bell 212 model.

However, the Thai army grounded its Bell 212 fleet in 2011, after three crashes of different helicopter models within two weeks which had left 17 persons dead. (dpa/NAN)
