    Two Pak Air Force pilots killed in crash during training

    Two Pakistan Air Force pilots were killed today when their training jet crashed at a Peshawar airbase during a routine mission. The China-made FT-7PG training aircraft was on a routine operational training mission when it suffered the mishap, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) said. Initially, it was said there was no loss of life, but later PAF officials said the pilot and the co-pilot died.

    Cause of crash not known, media reports technical fault

    The cause of the crash was not immediately known and the air force has announced a probe to ascertain it. However, according to media reports, the plane crashed due to a technical fault. Smoke was seen rising from the vicinity of the Bacha Khan International Airport in Peshawar and an emergency was declared at the airport after the incident.

    PAF suffered several crashes in the past

    This is the second crash in recent weeks. PAF has suffered several crashes of its aircraft during training in the past. Earlier this month, a paramilitary soldier was killed when an army helicopter crash-landed in suburbs of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province. A training plane of armed forces crashed last month in Lahore and two pilots were injured.
