What happened
During a cargo transport mission originating from Karachi, an aircraft was performing its descent toward Zahedan Airport. While operating in conditions characterized by restricted visibility, the plane impacted a mountain located in the vicinity of Saindak, near the border between Iran and Pakistan.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. There were four fatalities among the crew members on board, with no survivors reported from the flight.
Findings
Preliminary assessments suggest that the accident was a result of controlled flight into terrain. The presence of limited visibility during the approach phase is noted as a significant factor in the sequence of events leading to the mountain strike.
