New Delhi: The Centre on Sunday refuted reports that a passenger plane from India had crashed in Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province.
“The unfortunate plane crash that has just occurred in Afghanistan is neither an Indian Scheduled Aircraft nor a Non-Scheduled (NSOP)/Charter aircraft. It is a Moroccan-registered small aircraft. More details are awaited,” the Ministry of Civil Aviation stated in a post on X.
A later update posted by news agency ANI quoted a senior Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) official saying that a Moroccan-registered DC-10 aircraft had crashed in the mountains of Topkhana alongside the districts of Kuran-Munjan and Zibak of Badakhshan province.
Afghanistan’s Tolo News had earlier reported the chartered flight to be Indian.
Meanwhile, the Russian aviation authorities said they lost contact with a Russian-registered plane carrying six passengers over Afghanistan on Saturday evening. The chartered plane, a French-made Dassault Falcon 10 jet, was travelling from India to Moscow via Uzbekistan, reported Reuters.
