CHARIKAR (Pajhwok): A NATO helicopter hit a mountain and crashed in the Koh-i-Safi district of central Parwan province, an official said on Sunday, but the Taliban claimed downing it.

Koh-i-Safi district chief Saifullah Baidar told Pajhwok Afghan News the helicopter crashed in the Karez area in western parts of the district after hitting a mountain on Saturday before noon. He had no information about casualties.

We have no operational reporting to support these claims. NATO Resalute support mission told Pajhwok.

However, a Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said the fighters shot and downed the helicopter, killing all aboard.
