A military plane crashed into a residential neighborhood in the northern Philippines today, killing at least three people, provincial governor Mr Tomas Joson told local television.

Fifteen houses "are still on fire and we don't know if there are other casualties," Mr Joson said after a trainer jet crashed in the northern city of Cabanatuan.

He said the bodies of two pilots and one other person had been recovered.
