A Russian Su-34 military jet crashed into a residential building in Yeysk, a Russian city overlooking the Sea of Azov not far from Krasnodar. The news agency Interfax reported. On Telegram, several Ukrainian channels offer videos of the incident.
The death toll is 4 dead and 125 injured reported the Russian ministry for emergency situations, quoted by the agency Ria Novosti. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that the fighter crashed while taking altitude during a training flight. The plane had taken off from one of the airports in Russia’s Southern Military District. The accident would be linked to an engine failure. The pilot managed to escape to safety. The crash caused a fire from the first to the fifth floors of the building.
According to Kiev, the Russian fighter plane that crashed into a building in the Russian city of Yeysk, allegedly due to an engine failure, “was carrying ammunition”. Anton Gerashchenko, advisor to the Ukrainian Interior Minister, writes on Twitter that “at least one person has died and several have been hospitalized”.
“Russian weapons fell on Russian heads as they headed to kill Ukrainians. Will this make them think and protest against the war?” Added Gerashchenko.
