MOSCOW, July 2 (Itar-Tass) - Two land groups of rescuers have reached a location given by the crew of a Mi-8 helicopter that crash landed in Yakutia earlier on Tuesday, Irina Rossius, a Russian Emergencies Ministry spokesperson, told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.

"No helicopter was found in the coordinates given by the crew,” she said.

A search operation in the area is still under way.

Rossius said that another Mi-8 helicopter that had done air reconnaissance did not find anything in the area because of fog.
