Kabul: An aircraft crashed in Deh Yak district in the central province of Ghazni in south-west Afghanistan on Monday, official sources confirmed.
The plane has crashed in the Deh Yak district of Ghazni province, an area that is under the control of the Taliban, Afghan Khaama Press reported.
Provincial government spokesman Arif Noori said the plane appeared to have been a flight between the southern city of Kandahar and the capital Kabul, about 200 miles to the north. Ghazni province is between those two locations.
Noori said the body of two pilots were found at the crash site and that the plane was completely destroyed. He did not mention any other casualties. Noori said it did not belong to an Afghan carrier, but could not confirm who was operating the aircraft.
