TAXILA: A Pakistan Air Force (PAF) fighter trainer aircraft crashed during a routine training mission near Attock on Friday.
According to a PAF spokesman, the aircraft crashed near Faqeerabad, Attock, due to some technical reasons.
According to police sources, both the pilots ejected safely and no human or property loss was reported on the ground.
The PAF spokesman said a board of inquiry had been ordered to ascertain the cause of the accident.
At least five similar incidents were reported last year, with four PAF jets crashing during training missions and one during rehearsing for the March 23 parade.
