A U.S. Marine Corps helicopter was reported missing in Nepal Tuesday while conducting disaster relief operations following the second deadly earthquake to strike the region in three weeks.
The Huey was delivering tarps and rice to victims near Charikot. Six U.S. Marines and two Nepalese soldiers were aboard the helicopter.
Pentagon Spokesman Col. Steve Warren said there are "no indications of a crash," because the area is rugged.
No emergency beacon was detected.
Other aircraft nearby heard the helicopter's pilot say something about a "fuel problem."
