Russian helicopter accidentally fires on bystanders

During the Zapad military exercise, a helicopter appears to have misfired and injured two bystanders who've ended up in hospital.
The video included is pretty intense. (Not graphic, no injuries in the video, just shows how close the missiles came down).
Hopefully the bystanders will recover well.

In what way?
Technical fault whilst doing an exercise in an allied country probably won't get much happening

Usually when Putin wants to kill someone he uses poison.

Considering the tensions around the zapad in general someone will make an issue of this.

Possibly. But at the same time, accidents happen and nobody has yet died.
I know Ukraine's getting antsy about Zapad, so they might make a thing of it.
