A Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet crashed overnight between Friday and Saturday, killing one pilot, the Ukrainian Air Force said in a statement.

The aircraft went down while approaching to land after a combat mission, according to the statement on Facebook. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

The incident follows the loss of a Mirage-2000 fighter jet last month, when the pilot ejected safely.
