However, Qari Yosuf Ahmadi, a Taliban spokesman, claimed the aircraft was hit by their fighters in the restive province of Helmand.
The group claimed all soldiers on board the helicopter were killed. The plane was brought down in the Warmoz area on the outskirts of Nawzad district at approximate co-ordinates 32'40"00°N 64'46"67°E
