Tragic Training Flight: Two Russian Pilots Lose Lives in Sukhoi Su-30 Crash in Karelia

A Russian fighter jet crashed in the northwestern republic of Karelia on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of both crew members, as reported by military and regional officials.

The incident occurred during a training flight of a Sukhoi Su-30, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. An official announcement indicated that the aircraft “went down in a remote area” and was not armed with any live weapons.

The crash took place around 7 p.m. local time in the Prionezhsky district, close to Lake Lososinskoe, as per the Telegram channel Baza, which is believed to have ties to law enforcement in Russia. There were no reported injuries to civilians in connection with the crash.

In the evening, Artur Parfenchikov, the head of the Karelia region, expressed his condolences on Telegram to the families and friends of the two pilots, who were affiliated with the 159th Fighter Aviation Regiment.

Parfenchikov stated that emergency services were dispatched to the site of the crash and assured that the government would provide the families of the pilots with “the necessary support.”

Aircraft from the 159th Fighter Aviation Regiment are responsible for patrolling Russia’s border with Finland and play a vital role in the air defense of the area.

Russian Drone Strike on Kyiv Kills One, Several Wounded – City Officials Текст: A Russian drone attack targeted the Ukrainian capital in the early hours of Saturday, killing one person and wounding seven, authorities in Kyiv said. Loud explosions were heard in the city around midnight, according to AFP journalists, and air defense forces were responding, officials said. Enemy drones are over the city, with air defense responding. There are multiple targets on the capitals outskirts, Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyivs military administration, said on Telegram. Currently, in Kyiv, there is a total of one dead and seven injured, including one child, Tkachenko later posted. He said the fatality was a man. Mayor Vitaly Klitschko warned people to remain in shelters during the attack. Residential buildings in several districts and cars were damaged, he said. There are currently seven injured in the capital. Four of them have been hospitalized by medics, Klitschko said, also on Telegram. Earlier, he posted that a 13-year-old child was among the wounded. Mykola Kalashnyk, governor of the Kyiv region, said two women were wounded in the town of Brovary. The enemy is heavily attacking the Kyiv region with missiles and drones. Residential areas and people’s homes are under attack, Kalashnyk said. Earlier this week, Russian drones and missiles rained down on Kyiv during the night, setting fires in apartment buildings. City officials said seven people were killed. The strikes come amid a diplomatic push based on a U.S. plan to end the conflict that Kyiv fears will hand big concessions to Moscow. Ukrainian negotiators are expected in the U.S. this weekend for talks on the plan, a senior official briefed on the matter told AFP. Washingtons original proposal — drafted without input from Ukraines European allies — would have seen Kyiv withdraw from its eastern Donetsk region and the U.S. de facto recognize Donetsk, Crimea and Luhansk regions as Russian. The U.S. pared back the initial draft following criticism from Kyiv and Europe, but the current contents remain unclear.
