Published August 11, 2014

ISLAMABAD: A PAF’s un­­manned aerial vehicle made an emergency landing near Sargodha on Sunday because of some technical fault, causing minor damage to the plane.

Rejecting media reports that a plane of the Pakistan Air Force had crashed near Sargodha, PAF spokesman Air Commodore Tariq Mehmood said the UAV was on its routine flight when it had to make an emergency landing because of some technical fault.

He said no loss had occurred to any life or property on the ground.
