    TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander and his pilot were killed Monday in a gyroplane crash during an operation near the border with Pakistan, state television reported.

    The report says that General Hamid Mazandarani died during a military operation in Sirkan border area located in Sistan and Baluchistan province.

    The semi-official Tasnim news agency said the accident occurred during an exercise.

    An autogyro, similar to a helicopter in rotor design but simpler and smaller, is typically used in Iran for pilot training and border monitoring. It is capable of carrying two people.
