BREAKING NEWS: Russian military pilot dies after crashing into Sea of Azov
Accidents involving Russian military aircraft have increased since President Vladimir Putin sent troops to Ukraine in February 2022.
A Russian military pilot died after his Su-25 fighter jet crashed in the Sea of Azov on the country’s southern coast near Ukraine, an official said on Monday.
“I express my condolences to the relatives of the victim who died when his Su-25 attack aircraft crashed during a training flight,” Roman Bublik, the head of the Yeisk district of the southern Krasnodar region, said on social media.
The fighter jet crashed not far from the seashore and there were no other victims, regional officials said.
Videos on social media showed the aircraft falling into the sea not far from a crowded beach.
The pilot died after he ejected from the fighter jet and was picked up by rescue teams, officials added.
The defence ministry did not immediately say what caused the crash.
