An aircraft of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) crashed in Taliban birthplace Kandahar in south Afghanistan on Thursday, a spokesman of the alliance said.
"We confirm an ISAF aircraft but not helicopter has crashed and landed in Kandahar today," the spokesman, without identifying himself, told Xinhua.
However, he ruled out the involvement of Taliban militants in the incident, saying it is not due to Taliban or any other's hostile fire.
The spokesman also added that only the pilot got minor injuries in the incident.
