Plane crashes in eastern Afghanistan: officials
GHAZNI, Afghanistan, Jan 27, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – A plane crashed in eastern
Afghanistan’s Ghazni province Monday, officials said, but it was not
immediately clear how many people were on board, or if it was a passenger or
military jet.
“At around 1:10 pm (0840 GMT) a plane crashed in Deh Yak district of
Ghazni province. The plane is on fire and the villagers are trying to put it
out. We still don’t know if it is a military or commercial plane,” Aref
Noori, Ghazni’s governor’s spokesman, told AFP.
