Ten people have died in a fighter jet crash at a military base in Spain, the Defence Ministry says.
Military officials said that the Greek F-16 jet crashed into other planes and exploded at the Los Llanos airbase in Albacete in central Spain.
One of the pilots performed a wrong manoeuvre during take-off, according to local media. Both pilots were killed.
Another 13 people have been injured, six of them seriously, according to officials. The crash sent flames and a plume of black smoke billowing into the air.
Nine of the injured are Italian, according to the country's defence ministry, but the nationalities of the rest are unclear.
Reports suggest the dead come from different Nato nations, with personnel from the US, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Britain said to be stationed at the base.
