An Afghan military jet has crashed in Uzbekistan, an Uzbek news website reported on Monday, citing sources and images shared via messaging apps.
According to the report by Gazeta the jet was crashed late on Sunday in Uzbekistan’s southernmost Surxondaryo province, which is adjacent to Afghanistan. It published photographs of medics attending to a man in an air force uniform.
The website has also said that a source told it,” two Afghan military servicemen believed to have also been on the plane were hospitalised in the provincial capital, Termez.”
Russia’s TASS news agency cited Uzbekistan’s defence ministry as saying, it was studying reports about the crash. Uzbek authorities could not immediately be reached for comment.
On Sunday, Uzbekistan said it had detained 84 Afghan soldiers who had crossed the border and sought medical help.
