A helicopter carrying Hindu pilgrims has crashed in India, killing seven people on board.
The accident happened within minutes of the helicopter taking off, officials said, on what should have been a 10-minute flight.
The incident occurred in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand. The helicopter was flying to Guptkashi, a prominent Hindu pilgrimage site in the Himalayas, from Kedarnath temple town.
The crash comes three days after an Air India flight fell from the sky less than a minute after taking off from Ahmedabad airport in northwestern India, killing at least 270 people.
