A pilot has died after his fighter jet crashed at a children's air show in southern Thailand on Saturday.
Thai media reported that Squadron Leader Dilokrit Pattavee, 35, was killed when his JAS 39 Gripen jet crashed about 9.30am local time.
Families gathered at Hat Yai International Airport in Songkhla province for the annual show witnessed the jet plummet to the ground, away from the crowd.
In video footage shot by spectators, watching children can be heard screaming as the jet dives to earth and explodes in a fireball causing a large plume of smoke.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha expressed his condolences to the pilot's family and the Royal Thai Air Force.
The Royal Thai Air Force on its Facebook page urged people not to share footage and photos of the crash out of respect for the victim's family.
A fire engine rushing to the scene overturned, Thai media reported.
The cause of the crash will be investigated.
