Afghanistan Air Forces plane crashes in Uzbekistan: Reports

Tashkent: An Afghanistan Air Forces plane has crashed in Uzbekistan's Surkhandarya region, media reports said on Monday.

Local media reports said one serviceman of the Afghan government forces was injured in the incident.

“We are now studying this video and information, a detailed analysis is underway,” a spokesman of the Defense Ministry told Kun.uz

He added that the results of the investigation will be announced in the near future.

Meanwhile, the incident happened on a day when Afghanistan moved back to a chaotic situation as Taliban insurgents entered Kabul and captured the Presidential Palace on Sunday.

Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani escaped the country as Taliban entered the capital city following days of clashes with security forces and capturing one region after another.

Kabul woke up to a scene of chaos and confusion on Monday as people desperately tried to escape Afghanistan.

Scenes of desperation were witnessed at Kabul airport on Monday as hundreds of people, who are desperate to leave Afghanistan, clung on to a moving US Air Force C-17 aircraft on the tarmac.

A video later showed something falling off from the plane after it took to the skies.

Videos uploaded on social media showed hundreds of Afghan people running along with the C-17 on the tarmac as it began slowly wheeling to take off. Some people were seen clinging on to a small ledge near the landing gear.

Another video showed the plane in the sky just after it had taken off, and something fell off from the plane. It could not be said what fell off, but it is suspected some of those who kept clinging on to the plane could have fallen to their deaths.
