4 killed in Turkish military helicopter crash

ANKARA - Turkish rescuers found the wreckage early Monday of a military helicopter that went missing on Sunday and recovered the remains of all four crew members, local media reported.

The wreckage of the S-70B Sikorsky was discovered at a village in the northwestern province of Kocaeli, private Dogan news agency said.

The helicopter went missing soon after taking off from Izmit military airport. It was heading to Konya airbase.
