ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani army training aircraft crashed in southwestern Pakistan on Monday, killing both pilots, the military said.

The military attributed the crash of a PAC MFI-17 Mushshak plane near the town of Nawan Killi in Balochistan province to a technical fault. It gave no further details.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif offered condolences to the pilots’ families.
