Australian Army - Helicopter crash 10th June 2019

Seems very quite; few details are behind a 'paywall'
Does anyone know much about the Helicopter crash, Eurocopter Tiger from TV pictures?
Army seems to be keeping quite?

From the Army Aviation Training Centre Facebook page it appears as though they experienced a wire strike. No mention of a crash though.

Why were they flying so high to hit a wire, on the other hand it could well have been the top wire of a fence.
