The plane that crashed in Afghanistan was a Moroccan-registered Dassault Falcon 10 aircraft and was flying with two passengers and four crew members from Thailand to Russia's Zhukovsky International Airport in Moscow, said reports.
The Union ministry of civil aviation has clarified that the aircraft was neither an Indian Scheduled Aircraft nor a Non-Scheduled (NSOP)/Charter aircraft. "It is a Moroccan registered small aircraft," the ministry posted.
The plane that crashed in the mountains of Topkhana in Afghanistan's Badakhshan province had earlier landed in Gaya Airport for refuelling, according to the ministry.
The ministry's clarification comes after an earlier X post by Afghan TV channel Tolo News claimed that an Indian passenger plane crashed in the Topkhana mountains in Badakhshan province.
