"Yunani sudah mengirimkan helikopter angkatan laut untuk terlibat dalam operasi penyelamatan."

Helikopter Kanada tersebut memuat enam penumpang saat menghilang pada Rabu (29/4).

Sementara itu stasiun televisi Yunani sempat melaporkan penemuan tubuh di antara puing-puing yang terlihat di perairan lepas di dekat Pulau Kefalonia.

Namun kabar tersebut belum dikonfirmasi oleh pihak militer setempat.

Militer Kanada telah lebih dulu merilis pernyataan tentang pencarian helikopter tersebut setelah kontak mereka dengan helikopter tersebut terputus.

"Kontak hilang dengan helikopter yang tengah berpartisipasi dalam latihan gabungan di pantau Yunani. Usaha pencarian dan penyelamatan saat ini tengah dilakukan."

Juru Bicara Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) juga memberikan konfirmasi tentang peristiwa tersebut.


"Saya bisa memberikan konfirmasi bahwa ada insiden yang melibatkan helikopter yang berasal dari kapal NATO. Saat ini operasi pencarian dan penyelamatan tengah dilakukan." (ptr/ptr/dea)
