On April 23, 2024 at 09:30 local time in Lumut, Malaysia, a tragic accident occurred when two Malaysian Navy helicopters collided mid-air during a rehearsal for a military parade. The crash resulted in the death of all 10 crew members on board.

The Royal Malaysian Navy confirmed that the two helicopters involved in the accident were HOM M503-3 and Fennec M502-6.
