18 persons including Denys Monastyrskyi, Ukraine’s Interior Minister, other senior ministry officials and three children were killed on Wednesday morning when a helicopter crashed in Brovary near a nursery school outside Kyiv, the country’s capital.
Thead of national police, Igor Klymenko, confirmed the incident this morning (Wednesday).
After the crash, a fire broke out close to the school, hence pupils and staff were moved from the building.
Wreckage from the helicopter was visible outside a burning building.
