World News: Ka-226 helicopter crashes in Dagestan, 5 dead as aircraft plunges into guest house

A tragic helicopter crash in Dagestan, Russia, has claimed the lives of five people after a Ka-226 chopper went out of control and plunged onto a guest house under construction near the Caspian Sea coast. The incident took place close to the coastal area where the helicopter, reportedly attempting to land, struck a rock formation. The impact broke the tail section, causing the pilot to lose control despite repeated attempts at a safe landing. Within moments, the aircraft spun out and crashed directly onto a resort guest house, resulting in multiple fatalities. Eyewitness videos from the scene show the helicopter’s tail hitting a cliff before it disintegrated in mid-air. The pilot made desperate efforts to steer it towards the sea for an emergency landing, but the aircraft instead fell onto the construction site, bursting into flames. Rescue teams rushed to the site, recovering bodies and assisting the injured. Authorities in Russia have initiated a detailed investigation to determine the cause of the accident, though initial reports suggest a possible technical malfunction or pilot error. The Ka-226, a light twin-engine helicopter, is widely used in Russia for transport and utility purposes, capable of carrying up to seven passengers. The wreckage has been secured as officials continue to assess damage and collect flight data.
