“On February 18, 2019, the CH-148 Cyclone helicopter, currently deployed on Operation PROJECTION, experienced a hard landing on board Naval Replenishment Unit (NRU) ASTERIX West of Kauai, Hawaii,” the Canadian Forces tweeted out Tuesday night.

The Cyclone and Asterix are operating with HMCS Regina in the Pacific.

No serious injuries were reported during the incident, the Canadian Forces added on Twitter. The damages to the Cyclone are still being assessed, no damages were reported to Asterix and an investigation has been initiated to determine the cause of the hard landing, the military added.

“We’d like to thank our deployed personnel and the civilian staff of the ASTERIX for their professionalism and hard work during this incident,” the Canadian Forces noted.
