Report here. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

The four-strong crew were picked up by another Chinook immediately after the incident, north of Sangin, but the machine had to be destroyed by an air strike "to prevent it falling into Taleban hands."

The Ministry of Defence said that the incident was being investigated but stressed that enemy action has not been ruled out. 

More later.
