RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- A single-engine aircraft on Wednesday crashed in Brazil's northern state of Para, killing all three people on board, the Brazilian Air Force has said.

A Beechcraft Bonanza plane crashed onto the ground and exploded in the town of Itaituba, killing the two pilots and one passenger.

It was the second accident in Itaituba in four months. In October 2017, another single-engine plane carrying two crashed in a mining area, killing the pilot and injuring the passenger.
