Three killed in Black Hawk helicopter crash in Afghanistan
The Taliban took control of some US-made aircraft after they seized the country just over a year ago
Kabul: A Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a Taliban training exercise in Afghanistan's capital Kabul, killing three, the group's defence ministry said on Saturday.
"An American Black Hawk helicopter, which was flown ... for training, crashed due to a technical problem inside the campus of the National Defence University," said Ministry of Defence spokesperson Enaytullah Khowrazmi, adding five people were also injured.
The Taliban took control of some U.S.-made aircraft after they seized the country just over a year ago.
It remains unclear how many are operational. U.S. forces deliberately damaged some military hardware as they left and Afghan forces had flown some helicopters to central Asian nations.
