AHMEDABAD/NEW DELHI:

"An ALH Mk-III of the ICG met with an accident at Porbandar airport runway in Gujarat at 1215 hrs on January 05, 2025. The ICG helicopter, with two pilots and one aircrew diver, was on a routine training sortie. The crew were shifted to Government Hospital, Porbandar, where they were declared brought dead," the defence ministry said in a statement.

The coast guard identified the crew as Commandant Saurabh, Deputy Commandant SK Yadav and Pradhan Navik Manoj. It has ordered a board of inquiry to find out what led to the accident.

This was the second crash involving the ICG's ALH Mk-III in four months. Then too, two pilots and an aircrew diver were killed after their helicopter crashed into the Arabian Sea near Porbandar on September 2.
