Rocket explosion caused Russian Su-25 crash
Moscow, March 21 (RIA Novosti) The explosion of a rocket launched during a midair live firing exercise caused the crash of a Su-25 strike aircraft in Russia's Far East, a source close to the investigation said Friday.

A Su-25 Frogfoot close-support aircraft exploded in midair Thursday in the Primorye territory, about 143 km from the port of Vladivostok. The pilot died in the crash.
