Five officers of Pakistan Army have died in today's tragic plane crash in Karachi on Friday.

They have been identified as Major Shehryar, Capt Ahmed Mujataba Khan, Lieutenant Shaheer, Lieutenant Balach, and Second Lieutenant Hamza Yousaf.

The military's media wing, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR),, is yet to make a statement.

Source add that Squadron Leader Zain-ul-Arif of Pakistan Air Force, who was travelling in the ill-fated PK-8303 was also among the deceased.

A spokesman for national flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (P.I.A), said the A-320 Airbus was carrying 90 passengers and 8 crew members from Lahore to Karachi on PK 8303.

Eyewitnesses said the Airbus A-320 appeared to attempt to land two or three times before crashing in a residential area near the airport after what appeared to be an engine failure.
