What happened
During a scheduled supply mission, the pilot was maneuvering toward a designated drop zone when they identified an approaching mountain directly in the flight path. In an effort to avoid the obstacle, the pilot decreased engine power to facilitate an emergency landing. The aircraft subsequently struck the slope of a snow-covered mountain at an altitude of 5,100 meters.
The force of the impact caused a fuel tank to rupture, leading to a post-crash fire that consumed the wreckage. Despite the destruction of the plane, there were zero fatalities among the occupants. All five crew members survived the incident without injury.
