KABUL (Reuters) - A NATO helicopter went down in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force said.

The Chinook military helicopter went down in southern Afghanistan, a NATO official in Brussels said, but he had no word on casualties.

"I can confirm that," the NATO official said when asked about reports of a crash. "There are few details. It's a Chinook and it was in the south."

"We don't know about casualties but there were people on board when it went down," said ISAF spokesman Major John Thomas in Kabul.
