The aircraft performed a precautionary forced landing in an isolated and remote area, due to a mechanical issue. After ascertaining that there were apparent transmission issies, and the aircraft was not flyable, the crew and security team contacted the Ops Centre and waited for the arrival of assistance. After several hours, hostile forces were detected near the aircraft. The crew and pax retreated to a safe area of cover several hundred metres away. Shortly thereafter, the hostile forces began shooting at the aircraft. An RPG was fired and hit the aircraft's fuel bladder. A second RPG also hit the burining aircraft. The aircraft was destroyed by fire.
Several days later the aircraft remains were transported to Kabul.
