No one got killed in the crash, said the spokesman, adding that pilot of the plane managed to bail out before it crashed.

The spokesman said that the plane crashed due to technical fault while on a training flight, but he failed to mention what type of plane it was.

Earlier reports said that the plane crashed was a JF-17 Thunder jet fighter, but the PAF spokesman did not confirm the reports.
