A training aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force crashed today in the northwestern part of the country, dragging the two pilots to their deaths, a spokesman for the Pakistan Air Force said.
"The training aircraft crashed near Peshawar during a routine training mission," a statement issued by the Pakistan Air Force said. No other casualties or damages were reported at the crash site.
The Pakistan Air Force has ordered the formation of a commission of inquiry to investigate the cause of the crash, according to the same source.
In May 2015, a military helicopter carrying diplomats on an aerial inspection of a tourism project crashed, killing seven people, including the ambassadors of Norway and the Philippines.
In August of the same year, 12 people died as a result of the crash of a military hospital helicopter. Three months later, a pilot was killed on a routine training mission.
