One Canadian military member was killed and five others are still missing after a helicopter crashed in international waters between Greece and Italy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed on Thursday.
The helicopter is said to have been carrying four Royal Canadian Air Force members and two Royal Canadian Navy members when it went down.
“All of them are heroes. Each of them will leave a void that cannot be filled,” Trudeau said.
“I can assure you, we will get answers in due course.”
A joint search team has been deployed to search for the CH-148 Cyclone helicopter. Italy, Turkey, Greece and the U.S. are helping in the efforts.
Trudeau acknowledged that this was another “very hard day” for Canada, which is still grieving the victims of a gun massacre.
