The provincial governor reports a wreckage in flames however in the Sadozai area of Deh Yak District near Ghazni (Afghanistan). The governor later added, that the aircraft involved is a foreign national aircraft, no domestic airline, it has completely burned down. One of the pilots was recovered, who appears to be a foreign national. The spokesman for the governor further added, the aircraft crashed on Sunday (Jan 26th 2020) at about 13:15L (08:45Z). The governor added subsequently, two pilot bodies have been recovered from the wreckage, the aircraft is hardly recognizeable having burned down and so far has not been identified.
Afghanistan's Civil Aviation Authority reported they had not received any report of a civil airliner having gone down.

The Aviation Herald ends the research/investigation into that occurrence at this time (Jan 27th 2020).
On Jan 24th 2021 a final report by the US Air Forces concluded:
I find by a preponderance of the evidence that the cause of the mishap was the MC’s error in analyzing which engine had catastrophically failed (left engine). This error resulted in the MC’s decision to shutdown the operable right engine creating a dual engine out emergency.
I also find, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the MC’s failure to airstart the right engine and their decision to recover the MA to KAF substantially contributed to the mishap.
