Search for Missing Helicopter Continues Into Twelfth Day

Prime Minister Hun Manet Vows Relentless Efforts to Find Two Pilots
The search for a helicopter that lost contact with the Royal Cambodian Air Force (RCAF) headquarters has entered its twelfth day, with no sign yet of the missing aircraft. The helicopter, piloted by two RCAF members, disappeared in early July, sparking an extensive search operation.

Prime Minister Hun Manet expressed his deep concern on social media, stating, "From then until now, there has not been a second that the two pilots have been forgotten." He confirmed that the search began immediately after the helicopter lost contact, involving the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and local authorities. The search efforts have been relentless, continuing day and night, through rain, dense forests, and across ravines.

PM Hun Manet commended the Ministry of National Defense, the National Committee for Disaster Management, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and all authorities involved in the search mission for their dedication and hard work. He also expressed gratitude to the Cambodian people for their sympathy, concern, and encouragement during this challenging time. Despite the difficult geography and climate conditions, the Prime Minister remains hopeful that the two pilots will be found soon.
