At least four people have been confirmed dead after an Iranian army helicopter crashed in central Iran, striking a busy fruit market in the historic city of Isfahan, according to Iranian state media and international reports.
Authorities said the military aircraft went down during what officials described as a routine mission. The crash resulted in the deaths of two individuals aboard the helicopter and two civilian vendors on the ground, underscoring the risks posed when military incidents occur in populated areas.
Iranian officials reported that emergency responders were quickly deployed to the scene to contain the impact and secure the area. Visuals circulating in local media showed debris scattered across the marketplace, with damaged stalls and emergency crews working amid the wreckage.
The Iranian army has launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. While preliminary information has not identified a definitive trigger, officials indicated that technical failure is among the possibilities being examined.
Incidents involving military aircraft are not uncommon globally, but crashes in urban or commercial zones often intensify public scrutiny due to civilian casualties and safety concerns. Analysts say the Isfahan incident may prompt renewed focus on operational safety protocols for military flights near populated districts.
Isfahan, one of Iran’s major cultural and economic centres, is known for its dense commercial districts and historic markets, which typically attract heavy daytime activity.
Authorities have not yet released the identities of the victims. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
