The plane was a French-made Dassault Falcon 10 jet, the Russian official said. The plane was a charter flight travelling from India via Uzbekistan to Moscow, they added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to reports, the spokesperson of Afghan provincial police said in an official statement that the crash had taken place overnight in a remote, mountainous region of Badakhshan in Afghanistan&#8217;s far north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official further said there were no confirmed details on the type of plane, cause of the crash or casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June 2023, after a plane crash in the Colombian Amazon forest, four children, siblings from the indigenous community, went missing.
