Uttarakhand helicopter crash kills six; Binance reports major cyber breach

A helicopter operating in Uttarakhand crashed on Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of six people on board, including the pilot. The incident marked another aviation accident in the mountainous northern state, which has witnessed several such mishaps in recent years. Rescue and investigation teams were mobilized to the crash site to recover the victims and determine the cause of the accident.

In developments affecting India's cryptocurrency sector, global exchange Binance announced it had detected a complex cyberattack targeting its systems. The breach potentially exposed approximately $6.3 billion worth of cryptocurrency assets, according to the platform's security team. Binance said it was implementing enhanced security measures and investigating the scope and impact of the incident.

The exchange stated it was working to prevent unauthorized access and protect customer funds. The cyberattack underscores growing concerns about security vulnerabilities in the digital asset ecosystem, even as cryptocurrencies gain mainstream adoption in India and across Asia.
