A Russian Su-25 fighter-bomber crashed today in the Sea of ​​Azov near the city of Yeisk, but the pilot successfully ejected, local officials said in a statement on social media.

A video posted on social media, the authenticity of which has not been confirmed, shows a parachute descending over the sea near the shore and a large splash in the water. Yeisk stretches along the Sea of ​​Azov starting from the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine’s Donetsk region.

Krasnodar region officials said the pilot was pulled from the sea.
