A Russian-made Yemeni military jet ploughed into a residential district of Sanaa yesterday killing the pilot, officials said, and witnesses said it exploded in mid-air before crashing. The Sukhoi crashed into “Al Asbahi residential district in southern Sanaa”, a military official told AFP. Witnesses said the plane exploded in the air before crashing and debris from the aircraft scattered across the area, causing light damage to buildings and shattering windows. The defence ministry said on its website 26sep.net that the Sukhoi SU-22 attack aircraft was returning from a “usual training mission in (the eastern) Marib and Khawlan regions”. The defence ministry set up a committee to probe the incident, said 26sep.net
