Pakistani army training aircraft crashes, killing both pilots

On Monday, a Pakistani army training aircraft crashed in southwestern Pakistan, resulting in the deaths of both pilots, according to the military. The crash occurred near the town of Nawan Killi in Balochistan province, and was attributed to a technical fault. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed condolences to the pilots' families.

Plane crashes during training missions are common occurrences in Pakistan, with authorities typically not disclosing the causes or releasing crash investigation reports. In June, an air force plane crashed during routine training in northwestern Pakistan, also resulting in the loss of both pilots.
