The Hawk T2 flying from RAF Valley crashed near Pencarnisiog after both pilots ejected using their seats.

North Wales Police said the pilots were treated for minor injuries; no other injuries were reported.

The RAF has paused Hawk operations as a precaution while investigations into the crash continue.

The BBC understands the pause also covers the Red Arrows, whose next scheduled appearance is this weekend in Le Touquet, France.

I'm glad to say they've now been taken to hospital for treatment, and of course we're investigating how and why this happened. But for now, our best wishes go to the crew along with our hopes for a speedy recovery.
— Defence Secretary Wes Streeting, addressing the UK Space Power Conference in London
