Anybody can confirm that a R66 crashed in Africa today??

Heard that from someone today, not sure if it is true.

Africa is vast :) Anything more specific? An MI-17 from the Angolan Air Force crashed yesterday morning in the north eastern part of the country, sadly all 5 on board died. Inadvertent IMC followed by CFIT most likely. :(

Well it is a rumour site & it is partly correct.
Still a sad thing though
