Rescue teams and authorities have reached the location, and investigations are currently underway to determine the cause of the crash.
This incident follows a similar crash three months ago in April, when a two-seater Jaguar aircraft went down shortly after takeoff from the Jamnagar Airfield during a night mission. In that case, both pilots ejected after experiencing a technical malfunction, successfully avoiding damage to nearby populated areas, according to IAF sources.
