A Russian military plane has crashed into a residential area in southern Siberia, local authorities have said.
CityNews Nigeria reports that the Sukhoi Su-30 fighter aircraft landed on a two-storey house in the city of Irkutsk, regional governor Igor Kobzev posted on Telegram.
The governor said he was at the scene and both pilots had been killed, but no residents were hurt.
According to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, the jet was on a test flight when it came down.
Footage on social media showed what appeared to be several buildings on fire.
