Two Russian pilots killed after military jet hits building in Siberia
Two pilots have been killed after a Russian military jet crashed into a two-story building in the Siberian city of Irkutsk during a test flight, the local governor says.
“Both pilots were killed. None of the local residents were hurt… The Su aircraft was carrying out a test flight,” regional governor Igor Kobzev says on social media, posting a video of the building with smoke billowing against a dark sky and firefighters working at the scene.
