HANOI (Reuters) – Two pilots were missing in Vietnam on Wednesday after a light combat training aircraft crashed in the central province of Binh Dinh, state-affiliated newspaper VnExpress reported.

VnExpress cited representatives from the military as confirming the crash of the Russian-made Yak-130 jet.

Last year, a pilot was killed during training while trying to land a Russian-made Su-22 jet at a local airport.
