From the Wikipedia article
The air crash of the Qatar Air Force NHIndustries NH90 helicopter, which was carrying out a joint operation with Turkey, went down on 22 March 2026, according to the Qatari interior minister, in Qatari waters in the Persian Gulf, without the point where it fell having been specified so far.
The aircraft was carrying Turkish and Qatari citizens, according to a statement from the Ministry of Defence of Turkey.
Among the victims are four Qatari military personnel, a Turkish soldier and two technicians from the arms company Aselsan, owned by the Turkish Army.
Official sources attributed the accident to a technical failure during a night training flight. The Qatari interior ministry also confirmed the deployment of several specialised teams to the crash area for rescue tasks.
