KABUL: At least five people, including two RAF personnel, have been killed and five other wounded in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan, BBC reported.

Nato has not released the nationalities of the other victims or the five left injured.

The Puma Mk2 helicopter crashed as it was landing at Nato’s Resolute Support mission headquarters, Kabul.

A Ministry of Defence spokesman said the crash was “an accident and not the result of insurgent activity”.

The families of the British victims have been informed, the MoD said.

They have asked for a period of grace before their names are released.

The accident comes after a convoy of UK military vehicles was attacked in Kabul, the Afghan capital, on Sunday morning. Seven people were injured and there were no UK casualties, the MoD said.
