Search and identification operations persist, following the wreckage of the military helicopter, which crashed on June 7 in Cap Serrat, Bizerte, said the Department of Defence on Wednesday. With the help of air and sea resources, search operations are also aiming to recover the body of the fourth crewmember still missing from the helicopter. The search operations had so far recovered three bodies and some pieces of the helicopter wreckage in the area of the incident. On June 8, the Ministry announced that a military helicopter with four crewmembers on board had disappeared from radar screens while on a night flight mission on June 7 in the Cap Serrat area off the coast of Bizerte. Subsequently, the President of the Republic met the Minister of National Defence in Carthage to discuss the incident and ways of renovating military equipment.
