A Transafrik International Hercules L-100 (civilian version of the C-130) on behalf of National Air Cargo, freight flight MUA-662 from Bagram Air Base to Kabul (Afghanistan) with 7 crew and NATO supplies, impacted a mountain in the Pol-e Charkhi area east or northeast of Kabul around 19:30L (15:00Z). All 7 people on board perished.

 

Rescue forces are attempting to reach the crash site at high elevation and are expected to arrive in a couple of hours.

 

The Civil Aviation Authority of Afghanistan said, that the airplane was enroute from Bagram to Kabul when it impacted a mountain peak. All 7 people on board perished.

 

Kabul airport officials initially reported the airplane had impacted a mountain about 25-30km east of Kabul.

 

ISAF reported, that the airplane had crashed about 25-30km east of Kabul.

 

Kabul's airport director later stated, that the airplane disappeared from radar about 6nm northeast of the airfield at 19:25L (14:55Z), the tower observed a fire in about that direction. The airplane carried 8 crew, six Philipinos, an Indian and a Kenyan.
