A Philippine Air Force (PAF) helicopter made an emergency landing while surveying typhoon damage in the Philippines.

The military aircraft reportedly experienced an engine failure while flying over the storm-stricken province of Southern Leyte on Wednesday.

The S-70i Black Hawk helicopter landed in a field on the outskirts of Saint Bernard town with no injuries reported.

In a statement, PAF said: 'The crew performed a precautionary landing after noticing fluctuating temperature readings on one of the aircraft's engines. All crew and passengers are safe and were assisted by local authorities.'

PAF said that a team has been deployed to assess the helicopter's condition and arrange for its recovery.

The incident came just a day after a Super Huey helicopter crashed in Agusan del Sur province, killing all six airmen who were delivering aid to typhoon victims on November 4.
