A colonel in Iraq's Joint Operations Command said an "Mi-35 training helicopter crashed as a result of a technical problem," but that the crew survived.
The helicopter went down on Monday morning near the city of Kut, south of Baghdad.
Sahib al-Chlaibawi, the head of the Wasit province security committee, confirmed that the helicopter had crashed during a training mission, but no one was killed.
Iraq has lost multiple helicopters to accidents and ground fire in recent years, while others have been damaged.
