The Italian Air Force Airplane, participating in Evacuation from Afghanistan, got under the shelling during the take-off at Kabul airport, writes The Wall Street Journal.
No victim information. It is known that the C-130J of the military transport aircraft that has fallen under the shelling of the military transport aircraft was journalists and 98 civilians.
Presumably shelling from heavy automatic weapons, started immediately after the aircraft takeoff. It is specified that the shooting was carried out from the neighboring elevation, outside the airport.
Despite the machine-gun shelling, the Italian aircraft continued to fly, the possible damage is not reported.
