Two Pakistan Army Aviation pilots lost their lives when a Mushshak learning airplane crashed near Nawan Killi in Quetta district on Monday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) expressed in a note.
The airplane went down near middle day due to an engine error, the defense’s press wing note expressed. “At middle day on 12th October 2026, a Mushshak learning airplane of Pakistan Army Aviation crashed near Nawan Killi, Quetta, due to an engine error,” read the ISPR note.
The pilots were named as Major Husnain Shehzad Humayun, a teacher pilot, and Captain Abdul Samad, a learner pilot, it expressed.
Head of State Asif Ali Zardari showed deep pain over the death of the two pilots and extended his sympathy to their grieving lineages.
Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif likewise showed deep pain over the fall of a Pakistan Army Aviation learning airplane near Nawan Killi in Quetta district.
In a note, the chief minister extended sympathy to the lineages of the lost pilots and gave his warmth to the grieving lineages.
He prayed for the rise of the dead officers’ ranks and for them to be given a spot in the Creator’s grace. The chief minister likewise prayed for the lineages to be handed the power to face their loss.
In June this year, a Mi-17 chopper of the Pakistan Army Aviation went down near Muzaffarabad during the machine’s lift-off, the ISPR expressed.
Earlier that month, a Pakistan Air Force airplane went down during a regular learning flight in Mardan.
