a ¹ helicopter has crashed in southern afghanistan, ² at least 16 ³ and injuring five, nato officials have confirmed.

北约官员证实，一架民用直升机在阿富汗南部地区坠落，导致至少16人死亡5人受伤。

russian media say the aircraft was an mi-8 similar to this

the helicopter crashed at kandahar ⁴ ⁵ as it was trying to take off, though nato has ruled out the involvement of ⁷（叛乱分子）.

reports from moscow say the helicopter was a russian-built mi-8.

the crash is the second in a week. six passengers died when a helicopter came down in helmand province on tuesday.

'not shot down'

russia's interfax（国际文传电讯社） agency quoted a spokesman for russia's federal air transportation agency (fata) as saying the aircraft was a russian-built mi-8 transport helicopter.

fata said it was owned by the russian air company vertical-t.

the nationalities of the dead are not yet known.

a statement from nato's international security assistance force said: "a civilian contracted helicopter crashed during take-off from kandahar airfield.

"emergency personnel are on the scene. there was no indication of the cause of the accident but ⁶ action has been ruled out."

kandahar airfield is nato's largest air base in southern afghanistan but the bbc's martin patience in kabul says a lot of civilian aircraft fly in and out so there is no surprise this was a civilian crash.

a nato spokeswoman, lt cmdr sam truelove, told the afp news agency it had been confirmed that all the dead were civilians and no military personnel were involved.

the condition of the injured was not known, she said.

vertical-t was founded in 1992 and started to work abroad in 1998 in italy. it has worked in countries including germany, east timor, cyprus, yemen and greece, according to the company's website.

the company's helicopters are currently carrying out operations in the interests of the un in afghanistan and a number of other countries including congo, sudan and pakistan.

the dead in tuesday's crash in helmand were all civilians.

that helicopter crashed near the sangin military base, with local people saying it had been shot down by insurgents.

six ukrainian crew members of the mi-26 helicopter died, along with an afghan girl on the ground.
