In a heartbreaking development on Saturday night, a passenger aircraft crashed in Afghanistan's Badakhshan region, specifically in the Zebak district. The Afghanistan News agency, Khaama Press, reported that the plane, identified as a Moroccan-registered DF 10, had deviated from its original course, colliding with the mountainous terrain.

Contrary to initial reports suggesting an Indian connection, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) officially stated that the ill-fated aircraft did not belong to any Indian airlines. "This is not an Indian plane," affirmed a senior DGCA official. The tragic incident involved a Moroccan-registered small aircraft, and further details are pending.

Russian media later added a layer of complexity by linking the crashed plane to Moscow, asserting that it had taken off from India with six people on board. The investigation is ongoing, and the nature of the aircraft and the number of passengers are yet to be officially determined.

The crash site spans the mountainous areas of Top Khana, including the districts of Kiran and Minjan, and Zebak district in Badakhshan. Security officials in the province have not confirmed the casualties, fueling conflicting reports in Afghan media. Some claim it was a chartered plane en route to Moscow, while others suggest it was a regular passenger flight.

In summary, the tragedy involving the Moroccan plane in Afghanistan has debunked initial assumptions of an Indian connection, raising questions about the nature of the flight and the circumstances leading to the crash. The investigation continues, shedding light on the international aviation incident.
