US military airbus crashes in Afghanistan



KABUL: The US military has confirmed one of its planes crashed in eastern Afghanistan on Monday, BBC reported.

Officials told the media there were no indications it had been brought down by enemy activity.

The aircraft crashed in Deh Yak district, Ghazni province, an area with a strong hold of Taliban.

Afghan authorities initially said it belonged to state-owned airline Ariana, but the company issued a denial, saying all its planes were accounted for.

The Pentagon has not released further details and it is unclear how many people were on board.
