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.
一架美国军用空中加油机在吉尔吉斯斯坦半空中爆炸后坠毁。这架飞机从玛纳斯机场的玛纳斯转运中心起飞,玛纳斯转运中心为北约向阿富汗转运物资而设。
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.
