A US military refuelling plane has crashed in Kyrgyzstan after exploding in mid air. The aircraft took off from the US military transit center in Kyrgyzstan's Manas airport, established for NATO operations in neighbouring Afghanistan.
一架美國軍用空中加油機在吉爾吉斯斯坦半空中爆炸后墜毀。這架飛機從瑪納斯機場的瑪納斯轉運中心起飛,瑪納斯轉運中心為北約向阿富汗轉運物資而設。
Officials didn't say where the plane was heading and the US transit center declined to comment. A civil aviation official said storm clouds could have caused the explosion. Kyrgyzstan's Emergencies Minister said there were between two and five crew members on board.
官員沒有透漏飛機的航向,美國轉運中心拒絕評論。一名民用航空官員說暴風云可能會引起爆炸。吉爾吉斯斯坦緊急情況部部長稱飛機上有兩到五名機組人員。
