A Philippine military helicopter crashed on Tuesday while en route to participate in relief efforts for Typhoon "Kalmaogi" in northern Mindanao, a regional command center reported, without mentioning the possibility of survivors. The Eastern Mindanao Command stated in a statement that the "Super Puma" helicopter crashed while heading to the coastal city of Butuan "to support relief operations," adding that search and rescue efforts are underway. Several people were killed and thousands were displaced due to flooding caused by heavy rains and strong winds associated with the powerful Typhoon "Kalmaogi" hitting the Philippines on Tuesday. Water submerged entire towns on the island of Cebu, and cars and trucks were seen.
