Russian aviation authorities said on Sunday that a Russian-registered plane with six people believed to be on board disappeared from radar screens over Afghanistan the night before, after local Afghan police said they had received reports of a crash.
Russian aviation authorities in a statement said the plane was a chartered ambulance flight traveling from India, via Uzbekistan to Moscow with a French-made Dassault Aviation Falcon 10 jet manufactured in 1978.
Police in northern Afghanistan received reports of a plane crash in Badakhshan province, a provincial police spokesman said on Sunday.
Zabihullah Amiri, a spokesman for the Badakhshan provincial government, told Reuters a team had been sent to the crash site, but it was a remote area more than 124 miles from the provincial capital Fayzabad and would take 12 hours to arrive.
A spokesman for the Afghan provincial police said in a statement that the crash happened overnight in the remote, Badakhshan mountains in Afghanistan’s far north.
He said there were no confirmed details about the type of aircraft, the cause of the crash or casualties.
India’s civil aviation authority said that the plane crash was not a scheduled commercial flight or an Indian chartered aircraft and that “further details are awaited.”
Aircraft maker Dassault did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside normal business hours.
