Vietnam's military plane crashes, 1 injured
Hanoi, Apr 23 (Xinhua) A Vietnamese military plane slipped off a runway in northern Yen Bai province while landing, injuring one soldier on the ground, local media reported on Tuesday.
The plane's pilot parachuted safely before it crashed into a fence of a military unit in Tran Yen district, but the hard landing slightly injured the soldier who was in charge of landing-related guidance, online newspaper VnExpress quoted the district's officials as saying.
The accident happened when the plane, a Sukhoi Su-22, was in a training flight.
Another Su-22 crashed in Vietnam's central Nghe An province in July 2018 when conducting a regular training flight, killing two pilots.
