The operator of the plane was thought to be Ariana Airlines, but the CEO denied the report, according to the BBC.

"There has been an airline crash but it does not belong to Ariana," Reuters said, citing CEO Mirwais Mirzakwal.

"Ariana planes that have left, have reached their destination and have not crashed," a representative for the airline said. "The plane that crashed, therefore, doesn't belong to Ariana Airlines."
