The helicopter was once on a reconnaissance project when it went down over the province of North Kivu, the place there were clashes this week between Congolese army and the rebellion crew referred to as M23.

Six of the group contributors have been from Pakistan, and two have been army group of workers from Russia and Serbia, the UN peacekeeping project stated in a remark. There have been no survivors.

A seek and rescue operation recovered the our bodies and taken them to Goma, North Kivu’s capital.

In a condolence message Tuesday, Pakistan’s UN Ambassador Munir Akram showed the identities of the six Pakistanis killed.

“They made this final sacrifice whilst serving in Democratic Republic of Congo as a part of the UN contingent. My center is going out to the households of the martyrs,” Akram stated.

In a information unencumber, Congo’s defense force (FARDC) accused M23 of capturing down the helicopter. FARDC had in the past accused Rwanda of supporting the rebellion crew, which the Rwandan military denied in a remark on Monday.

The UN project didn’t establish the reason for the crash and stated an investigation is underway.
