Iran

An Iranian military helicopter went down near Piranshahr, a town around 6 miles from the Iraqi border. Six soldiers were killed. The military said it was due to mechanical failure, but the Mehr news agency said the Kurdish rebel group Pejak shot down the helo while fighting the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps.
