Provincial council member, Khaliq Dad Akbari, also confirmed the crash, saying that the death toll was unclear.
According to both officials, the crash area is controlled by the Taliban.
“Rescue teams had been dispatched to the scene but it was unclear whether Taliban militants would block them from reaching it,’’ Noori said.
