Two dead, four survive in Afghanistan plane crash
Inshallah.
[GEO.TV] Two passengers bit the dust in a plane crash involving a charter aircraft in the northern Afghan province of Badakhshan, two Taliban
...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan...
officials said on Sunday.

According to Rooters, contrary to the initial grim news, Khan Mohammad, head of the provincial governor's office, stated that four passengers managed to survive the crash and were currently in the care of Taliban administration representatives.

The crash involved a Russian-registered plane with six individuals on board, as confirmed by Russian aviation authorities. The aircraft mysteriously disappeared from radar screens over Afghanistan the previous night.

Despite the challenging terrain and remoteness of the crash site, Afghan officials, including Zabihullah Amiri, the provincial front man for Badakhshan, swiftly responded, sending a team to investigate the tragic incident.

While the Indian civil aviation authority clarified that the crash did not involve a scheduled commercial flight or an Indian chartered aircraft, details about the circumstances leading to the crash are eagerly awaited.

The remote location, situated over 200km from the bucolic provincial capital Fayzabad, posed logistical challenges for the investigative team, requiring a 12-hour journey to reach the crash site.

Tragically, among the passengers were two Russian nationals, according to Russia's state-run TASS news agency. A manifest list published by the SHOT news outlet indicated that the entire crew were also Russian nationals.

As the investigation unfolds, Russian aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia reported that four individuals survived the crash, while the fate of the remaining two on board is currently under clarification.

The incident underscores the complexities and uncertainties surrounding aviation emergencies, leaving authorities and communities grappling with the aftermath.
