In Moscow, Russian civil aviation authorities said a Dassault Falcon 10 went missing with four crew members and two passengers. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also said that the Russian Embassy in Afghanistan was working with local officials on the incident. The unfortunate plane crash that has just occurred in Afghanistan is neither an Indian Scheduled Aircraft nor a Non Scheduled (NSOP)/Charter aircraft. The last fatal airplane crash in Afghanistan came in 2020, when a U.S. Air Force Bombardier E-11A crashed in Ghazni Province, killing two American troops.
