Manila, Shawwal 11, 1435, August 07, 2014, SPA -- A Polish-made Sokol helicopter on Thursday crashed in the southern Philippines while carrying senior military officials, injuring two soldiers, the army said, according to dpa. The officials were unharmed in the accident, which occurred about one year after the W-3A chopper was delivered from Poland. The helicopter had just taken off from a military camp in Marawi City, 820 kilometres south of Manila, when the accident occurred, said Major Christian Uy, an army division spokesman. "The chopper was at an altitude of 30 metres when the power suddenly went out, causing it to crash," he said. --SPA 13:50 LOCAL TIME 10:50 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
