Dak Lak (VNA) – The wreckage of the Yak-130 military aircraft was located at Yok Don National Park in Buon Don district, the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak on November 8, two days after it crashed.

Competent authorities found the plane at 14:30 and are working to clarify the cause of the accident.

Earlier, the Ministry of National Defence said the aircraft took off from Phu Cat airport at 9:55 on November 6 for a long-distance and cloud-crossing training session. After completing the exercise, two pilots on boards encountered technical issues as the landing gear could not be released while emergency measures taken by them did not work. They were able to parachute from the plane at 10:51 at TB2 shooting range in Tay Son district.

Both pilots were found safe at night of the same day. They were reported to be in stable condition and were brought down from the mountain.
