An Algerian air force plane crashed today in the south of the country during a training exercise, killing the two soldiers on board, the defence ministry said.
It said the Sukhoi Su-24, a bomber first developed in the former Soviet Union, went down near Hassi Bahbah in the Djelfa region, 270 kilometres south of Algiers.
An investigation has been opened to determine the cause of the accident.
On July 24, an Air Algerie plane crashed in Mali, killing all 116 people on board. And the crash of a military transport plane in eastern Algeria in February killed 77 soldiers and family members.
