Ti personer er innlagt på sykehus etter ulykken. De fleste om bord var oljearbeidere på vei til jobb.
Arbeiderne jobber ved et olje- og gassfelt som heter Vankor. Området er avsidesliggende. Det er kun mulig å komme dit ved bruk av helikopter, eller ved å kjøre over en frossen innsjø, skriver nyhetsbyrået AP.
De regionale krisemyndighetene opplyser at helikopteret forsøkte å nødlande, men oppgir ingen detaljer om hvorfor det styrtet.
Det sivile Mi-8-helikopteret styrtet utenfor byen Igarka vest i Sibir, om lag 280 mil nordøst for Moskva.
