As many as 25 members of the Tajikistan military may have been killed in a helicopter crash that could have been the result of a missile attack by Islamist rebels, Agence France-Presse reported, citing unidentified military officials.
The incident occurred following an increase in Islamist unrest in the east of the central Asia country, where 28 soldiers were killed last month in an ambush, the news service said.
