NEW DELHI: An Indian MiG-29 aircraft crashed near Agra in Uttar Pradesh during a routine training sortie on Monday.
"The pilot manoeuvred the aircraft to ensure no damage to life or property on ground, before ejecting safely," the Indian Air Force said.
An inquiry has been ordered to look into the cause of the accident blamed on a system malfunction.
This was the second Indian MiG-29 crash in about two months.
A MiG-29 crashed in Rajasthan state's Barmer area in September due to a technical snag. – BERNAMA
