KABUL- A US military spokesman in Afghanistan says seven people were killed when a plane belonging to Silk Way Airlines of Azerbaijan crashed in the country's south.
He said the plane had been carrying nine people when it crashed on take-off from Camp Dwyer, a military airport in Helmand province, a day earlier.
Two Ukrainian survivors were flown to Kandahar Airfield for treatment. There was "no military involvement" in the crash, he says, adding that one of the plane's wings clipped the runway as it was taking off at 2.30 p.m. local time.
