TAIPEI - TAIWAN'S air force on Tuesday confirmed one of its fighter jets which went missing this week crashed, killing at least one person on board.
'Some wreckage and parts of a human body have been found' off Penghu island in the Taiwan Strait, an air force spokesman told reporters.
But the spokesman said the search for the second person on board the twin-seater plane would continue.
The two onboard were identified as pilot Air Force Captain Ku Chih-pin, 29, and aviation engineer Air Force Captain Chen Chien-ting, 31.
The locally-made plane disappeared from radar screens on Monday 30 minutes after taking off from the central Chingchuankang air base for a training mission in the Taiwan Strait, the air force said.
The air force was investigating the cause of the crash. -- AFP
