Three people were feared killed and 11 injured when a MiG-21 fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed into a village in western India Friday morning, according to the Press Trust of India.

The jet crashed in Lakha Baval village, about 20 kms from Jamnagar of Gujarat state, a police official said.

The jet ploughed into houses, killing three persons and injuring 11 others on the ground, but the pilot bailed out, the official said.

This is the second disaster for the IAF this month. On February7, a MiG-23 fighter aircraft crashed in the desert state of Rajasthan, west India, killing the pilot.
