ATHENS: Debris from a Canadian military helicopter that went missing during a NATO operation has been found in the sea between Greece and Italy, a Greek military officer and public television said Thursday. Canada’s armed forces said the helicopter had been involved in an accident after taking off from the Canadian frigate Fredericton on Wednesday. “Debris has been found in Italy’s zone of control and intervention” in the Ionian Sea, the Greek military officer told Agence France-Presse, specifying the wreckage belonged to the Canadian helicopter. But the military officer did not immediately confirm a body had been found, saying only that Greece has sent a marine helicopter to take part in the rescue operation. “I confirm there has been an incident involving a helicopter from a ship under NATO command,” she said.
