KABUL, July 20 (Reuters) - A helicopter belonging to the NATO-led force crashed on Monday on a airfield in Afghanistan's southern province of Kandahar, an alliance official said, a day after a similar crash killed 16 people there.

The two crew were being treated for their wounds, he said. The helicopter crashed shortly after take-off and was on fire, he said, adding there was no immediate indication that it had come under fire.
