Uganda said on Wednesday one of its fighter aircraft had crashed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Reuters reported. "It's true we have lost a fighter aircraft in a test flight, one-and-a-half kilometers from Isiro airport," said Ugandan Army spokesman Paddy Ankunda. "The pilot, Bosco Opiyo, failed to recover the plane from diving and plunged into the ground, dying instantly, and the craft also caught fire. The accident is purely a technical accident."
