Italian military helicopter crashes in Bosnia, 4 dead An Italian military CH-47F Chinook serving the EU military mission in Bosnia, EU Althea, crashed on Thursday near the village of Goris in Brančko district, northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Four Italian soldiers were killed and 11 wounded, according to the European Union. Three of them died at the scene of the incident and a fourth died later at Barcheko Hospital. All 15 people on board were Italian. One of the injured was reported to be in critical condition and may be transferred to Tulala. Eyewitnesses said that the helicopter flew low and scattered several times in the air before landing in an uninhabited area a short distance from the first houses in the village. Footprints online appear to show Chinko spinning out of control as he went down. The European Union says the flight is a routine operation and has launched an investigation. Italy's Ministry of Defense claims that the cause is still being established. The EU also urged locals not to spread "unknown information" and to rely only on official channels. @DDGeopolitics.
