Pakistan military training plane crash kills two pilots

A military training aircraft crashed in the Balochistan province of southwest Pakistan on Monday, resulting in the deaths of both pilots. The aircraft, identified as a PAC MFI-17 Mushshak, went down near the town of Nawan Killi.

The Pakistan Army reported that the crash was likely caused by a technical failure, though specific details regarding the malfunction or the exact circumstances of the accident have not been released. The identities of the deceased pilots have not been made public.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have both expressed their condolences to the families of the fallen military personnel. This incident follows a pattern of similar training accidents in the country, including a fatal crash involving a Pakistan Air Force plane in June.
