“Local emergency services have located the Falcon 10 aircraft. Four people are alive, the fate of the other two is being determined,” the Rosaviatsia agency said on Telegram.
Taliban spokesman Zabihulah Mujahid also confirmed this information in a post on the X network.
“The aircraft lost in Badakhshan province was found in Aruz Koh area of Kof Ab district,” he further said the X network Mujahideen. “According to our information, four people are alive, including the pilot,” he added, adding that rescue workers were still looking for the other two passengers.
According to initial information, it was supposed to be an Indian transport plane, but later Russian authorities admitted that it was their plane that disappeared from radar over the Afghan mountains.
The French-made Falcon 10 aircraft flew from northern Thailand to Zhukovsky airport near Moscow and, according to The Guardian newspaper, citing the news portal Shot, there were four crew members and two people on board. They should all be of Russian nationality.
The Ria Novosti newspaper reported that there was supposed to be a bedridden patient on board who was traveling from Thailand to a hospital in Russia. She was to be accompanied by her husband, a businessman who paid for the flight.
According to the British newspaper, the pilot was supposed to report a fuel shortage, so he decided to land at an airport in Tajikistan. Shortly after the report, one of the engines should be switched off. After that the other one shouldn’t work either. 25 minutes after the first report, the aircraft disappeared from radar.
