The Russian warplane crash could have been caused by a technical defect, a Defense Ministry source said on Saturday.

A Yak-130 crashed earlier on Saturday near the city of Lipetsk in central Russia but both pilots ejected safely.

Defense Ministry Spokesman Lt. Col. Vladimir Drik said it crashed at 16:58 Moscow time during takeoff at the Lipetsk Air Force Training Center.
