New Delhi: Russian warplane crashed into a residential building in the Siberian city of Irkutsk Sunday, regional authorities said. There was no immediate information on casualties. Irkutsk Gov. Igor Kobzev said the plane came down on a two-story building in the city. The local branch of Russia's Emergencies Ministry said the Su-30 fighter jet crashed during a training flight and fell on a two-story wooden building, sparking a fire. The crash came less than a week after another Russian warplane crashed near an apartment building in the Sea of Azov port of Yeysk and exploded in a giant fireball, killing 15 and injuring another 19.

Irkutsk governor Igor Kobzev stated on Telegram that the plane crashed into a two-story house in the city. He stated that he was on the scene and had no information about casualties. It was the second incident of its kind in six days. A Sukhoi Su-34 fighter plane crashed into an apartment building in the southern city of Yeysk, near Ukraine, on Monday, killing at least 15 people. This was reported in an article by Hindustan Times.
