A Sukhoi Su-25 attack aircraft crashed on Wednesday during the landing at an airfield in Russia's Far Eastern Primorye territory, the defense ministry said, according to Russian news agency TASS.
The Su-25 jet was performing a training flight, the Ministry's press service said.
"The pilot ejected, his life and health are not under threat. The flight was made without an ammunition allowance. There are no casualties or destruction on the ground," TASS reported.
A source in the law enforcement agencies earlier told TASS that the aircraft crashed near Chernigovka airfield due to "engine malfunction."
The local administration confirmed that crash occurred in Primorye's Chernigovsky settlement, adding that there were no casualties or serious destruction.
