Jamnagar/IBNS: An Indian Air Force (IAF) Jaguar fighter jet crashed in Gujarat's Jamnagar on Wednesday evening.

According to media reports, one pilot ejected before the crash, while a search is on for the other.

Videos from the spot, in Suvarda village, 12 km from Jamnagar city, showed the jet catching fire with the cockpit of the crashed plane and its tail lying in different areas and burning.

IAF officials said the twin-seater Jaguar was on a routine training sortie.

The Jaguar is a twin-engine fighter bomber with single and twin-seat variants, widely used by the IAF.

First inducted in the late '70s, the Jaguar has been heavily upgraded over the years.

On March 7, another Jaguar aircraft of the IAF had crashed in Ambala after facing a system malfunction.

The pilot had then manoeuvred the plane away from habitation and then ejected safely.
