A helicopter crashed in Russia's Siberia on Thursday, killing six on board and injuring seven, Russian rescue workers said.
A Mi-8 helicopter in the Altai Republic in southern Siberia caught fire when it landed and struck a power line, the Altai branch of Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry said. It posted a statement online that included a photo of the helicopter wreckage on fire.
Russia's state news agency RIA Novosti, citing the country's civil aviation agency Rosaviatsia, said the helicopter belonged to a private company and was carrying a group of tourists.
The total number of people on board is unclear.
According to the report, there were a total of 12 passengers and three crew members on board, but the Ministry of Emergency Situations put the total number on board at 13.
The conflicting messages could not be immediately reconciled.
The Mi-8 is a twin-engine helicopter designed in the 1960s. It was widely used in Russia, where crashes were frequent, in neighboring countries, and in many other countries.
