A Saudi Arabian Tornado fighter crashed in the kingdom's Eastern Province during a training mission on Monday, but its crew survived, the defence ministry said.
The aircraft crashed at the King Abdul Aziz Airbase in Dhahran while on a "routine training mission," state news agency SPA quoted a ministry official as saying.
"The crew escaped the accident unharmed," the official said.
They said a "technical problem" caused the accident, and that a probe had been opened to find out the precisely what it was.
