Local media reported that one crew member was killed in the crash.
Russia's Defense Ministry, in turn, reported that all crew members were alive, saying the Mi-35 helicopter made an emergency landing due to technical problems during a flight over Syria's northern Hasaka province.
The helicopter was not fired at, Russian state agencies quoted Russia's Defense Ministry as saying on Sunday.
