YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK, May 11 (Itar-Tass) - One of the passengers on board a Russian helicopter that had fallen into water in the Sea of Okhotsk earlier Thursday, has died.
The Russian helicopter Mi-14 fell into the sea during Russo-Japanese exercises to drill operations to render assistance to a ship in distress. There were 13 people on board the helicopter, which overturned but remained afloat. Twelve of them have been rescued.
Right after the incident the exercises were stopped and all vessels were used to rescue the people. The rescued were brought to the Japanese ship Erimo and the Russian ship Agat.
The rescued people are being evacuated to the port of Korsakov. The patrol ship Bug is towing the helicopter to the same port.
Sea rescuers of Russia and Japan launched exercises in Aniva Gulf off the port of Korsakov earlier in the day to drill action to help a ship in distress and eliminate an oil spill.
