BERLIN (Reuters) - One pilot was killed and another was able to parachute to safety after two German Eurofighter jets collided over northeastern Germany on Monday.

The jets were unarmed when they crashed over the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the German air force said.

"Together with a third Eurofighter they were flying an air combat mission," it said in a statement. "The pilot of the third Eurofighter observed the collision and reported that two parachutes descended to the ground."
