“This was not one of our helicopters,” the volunteer said, adding that the appearance of the helicopter followed a suspicious “slow roll” of two unmarked black SUVs and a side-by-side vehicle near the entrance of the site.
The volunteer expressed concerns about the unmarked nature of the helicopter, questioning its legality and the intentions of the masked individuals reportedly onboard. While speculation was raised about the involvement of special forces or private contractors, no official information has been confirmed.
Authorities have yet to provide any further details on the incident or the vehicles involved. The destruction of the recovery supplies has left many locals seeking answers.
