Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An Azerbaijani cargo plane chartered by foreign troops in Afghanistan has crashed north of Kabul, killing all nine crew members on board.
Abdul Haleem, a district governor in Parwan province, said the remains of eight crew had been recovered, adding it was impossible for the ninth to have survived. He said all the crew were Russian, but other reports suggested there were Uzbeks and Azerbaijanis on board.
"The crash may have been the result of a collision with an unknown object," said Azerbaijan's state air company.
