The accident occurred in a mountainous area, with difficult access, of this province crossed by the Hindu Kush massif, with peaks exceeding 7,000 meters.
The crash site “is about an eight-hour drive” from the provincial capital Faizabad, Amiri said.
“We sent a team to the spot, but it hasn’t arrived,” he added, “we don’t have any details.”
The official said he hoped to have information from the team “in two to three hours.”
