A helicopter has ditched in the North Sea.
About 16 people were believed to be on board the aircraft and Aberdeen Coastguard said a major rescue operation was under way.
The incident happened about 35 miles east of Crimond in Aberdeenshire at about 1400 BST.
The operation includes two RAF rescue helicopters and a Nimrod, as well as two lifeboats. Fishing boats are also in the area.
The crash comes less than two months after a helicopter with 18 people on board ditched in the Etap field 125 miles east of Aberdeen.
All those on board the Super Puma survived the crash on 18 February.
