ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Two fuel tanks fell from a Pakistani air force plane after takeoff Sunday and hit a guard post on the ground at a base in northwestern Pakistan, sparking a fire and killing two soldiers, an official said.
The external tanks dropped off a Chinese-made A-5 jet because of "technical malfunctioning" at the base in Peshawar, about 145 kilometers (90 miles) northwest of the capital, Islamabad, said Pakistan air force spokesman Air Commodore Sarfaraz Khan.
The two soldiers died on the spot. It was unclear whether the soldiers were hit by metal from the tanks or died from the fire, which was quickly extinguished.
Khan said officials were investigating why the tanks detached from the aircraft.
