[PHOTOS] Russian personnel on board helicopter downed in Syria are dead- Kremlin
The Kremlin on Monday said that Russian military personnel on board a helicopter shot down in Syria on Monday were dead, citing the Russian Defense Ministry. 
 
The helicopter, with five people on board, was shot down in Idlib Province, Russian news agencies quoted the Defense Russian air forces are supporting President Bashar al-Assad in Syria's five-year-old civil war.
 
Images shared on social media purportedly showed a dead body stripped of his clothes and Russian identity documents taken from the crashed helicopter.
  
The defen​se ministry said it was an Mi-8 military transport helicopter which had been shot down after delivering humanitarian aid to the city of Aleppo as it made its way back to Russia's main air base in the western province of Latakia.
  
Around 40 km north-east of the crash site, rebel groups are staging an offensive to break a government siege on rebel-held parts of eastern Aleppo city.
  
Pro-government forces on the ground are being supported by heavy air strikes in the area.
