Brands in the UAE and the region have been advised to create the right awareness schemes that they’re deemed neutral
At least three Afghan crew members were killed on Saturday when a US-manufactured Black Hawk helicopter they were flying crashed, the Taliban’s defence ministry said.
The statement said that five others were wounded in the accident during a training session overseen by Afghanistan’s defence ministry at the capital of Kabul.
It is not known how many US choppers remain in the hands of the Taliban government. As the US-backed Afghan government collapsed in mid-August last year, dozens of Afghan pilots fled to Central Asian countries, including Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Afghan air force pilots played a key role, alongside their US counterparts, in the 20-year war against Taliban insurgents that ended with the departure of foreign troops last year. The airstrikes inflicted heavy casualties among the Taliban and repeatedly drove them from positions they had seized in different parts of the country.
Last year about 140 Afghan pilots and others were flown out of Tajikistan then to Abu Dhabi and their final destination in the US.
Separately, three civilians were wounded when a bicycle bomb exploded in Kabul, said Khalid Zadran, spokesman for the capital’s police chief.
The attack occurred in the Shai neighbourhood and there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.
Recently, the Daesh group has claimed similar attacks in the country. Daesh has waged a bloody campaign of attacks on Taliban targets and minority groups.
