A Russian MiG-29K fighter crashed into the Mediterranean while conducting a training flight from the deck of the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. The carrier was part of a contingent that Russia had expected to use in operations over Syria, where Russia is supporting the government forces of President Assad. The pilot was recovered without injury. The accident has been attributed to a mechanical malfunction.
