A MiG-29K fighter jet belonging to the Indian Navy crashed shortly after it took off on a routine training mission from Goa's Dabolim. The pilots - Captain M Sheokhand and Lieutenant Commander Deepak Yadav - managed to eject safely and have both been recovered. According to a statement by the Navy, the plane, a trainer version of the fighter, was hit by a flock of birds and the collision led to a fire in the right engine and the left engine failing.
