Kuala Lumpur:
Four people were rescued after a Malaysian coast guard helicopter crashed in the Strait of Malacca on Tuesday, the aviation regulator said.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia said the helicopter was on a training flight when it crashed into the water near Angsa Island, but did not give a reason.
“There were four people on board, including the pilot, and no fatalities were reported. All survivors were rescued by rescue helicopters,” the statement said.
Angsa is a rocky island in the Strait of Malacca, a narrow waterway between the Indonesian island of Sumatra and Malaysia.
The Coast Guard said in a separate statement that it would investigate the cause of the crash.
