KABUL, May 19 (Xinhua) -- A plane with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) made hard landing in Logar province 60 km south of Kabul on Sunday, a statement of the alliance released here said.

"An International Security Assistance Force C-130 had a hard landing in Logar province, Afghanistan today," the statement added.

The statement without providing more details stressed that, " There are no casualties, and there was no indication of insurgent activity in the area at the time."

Previously, in a similar incident, a helicopter crashed in Logar province on April 22, during which Taliban militants captured nine people including eight Turkish nationals aboard the chopper and set them free after nearly two weeks keeping in captivity.
