A Russian Su-30 fighter jet crashed in Crimea on Friday during a routine training mission, according to reports by state news agency TASS, cited by Reuters.
The aircraft was not carrying any weapons at the time, and the situation did not pose a threat to people on the ground.
Both pilots managed to eject from the jet just in time and were quickly rescued by emergency teams. Officials said the crew is safe and not in danger.
The reason behind the crash is still unknown, and an investigation is likely to follow to find out what went wrong.
