Philippine rescuers have found the wreckage of a missing fighter jet and the bodies of its two pilots in a mountainous region of the country.
The FA-50 fighter jet with two pilots on board lost contact after midnight on Tuesday during a night combat mission against communist insurgents in a southern province. While the jet failed to reach its target area, the other aircraft successfully carried out assaults and returned to an air base in central Cebu province, military officials said.
