A U.S. military transport plane crashed at an airfield in Afghanistan shortly after midnight on Friday, killing all 11 people on board, the U.S. military said, adding there were no reports of enemy fire at the time.
The cause of the crash at Jalalabad airfield was under investigation, a spokesman said, refusing to rule out the possibility that there may be dead or wounded on the ground. First responders were on the scene, he said.
Six U.S. military service members and five civilian contractors who were employed by the U.S.-led international force in Afghanistan were killed in the crash.
