A CH-47 Chinook military helicopter belonging to the European Union peacekeeping force (EUFOR) crashed in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina yesterday, Thursday, killing four military personnel and injuring 11 others during daily training.
According to the announcement, of the 15 people aboard the helicopter, there were three who died at the scene and another who died on arrival at hospital, while the other 11 injured people were receiving treatment. Specialists are now conducting a thorough investigation into the exact cause of the crash.
The EU peacekeeping mission, which has approximately 1,200 troops from 24 European countries, took over from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 2004 under a United Nations Security Council mandate to maintain security and oversee the military provisions of the peace agreement that ended the 1992–1995 war in Bosnia.
