Four Philippine Air Force pilots were killed when two SF-260 training aircraft collided in mid-air and crashed at Fernando Air Base in Batangas province, south of Manila, the military said.
Both planes came down within the base perimeter, and no other casualties were reported, Air Force spokesman Colonel Alvin Capinguian said in a statement cited by the South China Morning Post. The Hindu reported that the crash occurred on Saturday at the base in Lipa City, while the South China Morning Post reported that the collision occurred during a training flight on Friday and was announced by the military on Saturday.
The Philippine Air Force opened an investigation to determine the cause of the accident. It also temporarily grounded the rest of its SF-260 fleet as a precaution while the inquiry proceeds. The Indian Express also reported that the collision was captured on camera.
