On Wednesday, a Pakistani military MI-17 transport helicopter crashed in Pakistan-administered Kashmir due to an unexpected technical malfunction, leaving every service member on board dead, according to official statements from the Pakistani military. Authorities have not yet released a definitive figure for the number of people aboard the aircraft, nor have they drawn any connection between the crash and a protest and strike organized by the Joint Awami Action Committee, a coalition of local groups that was recently banned by the government, which was ongoing in the region at the time of the incident.
