The Guyana Defence Force says it has positively identified the “crash site” where a Bell 412 helicopter went down yesterday.

In an update this morning, it says search and rescue teams have also reported positive signs of life at the scene.

Troops are being rappelled to the exact site location.

The helicopter was engaged in a “border operation” in the Essequibo region when it went missing yesterday with seven persons on board.
