A Su-25 Frogfoot close air support aircraft crashed on Thursday in the Kurdamir district of Azerbaijan, local media reported.

The Trend news agency cited Azeri Defense Ministry's spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu as saying that the crew ejected from the plane and survived the crash without injury.

An investigation into the cause of the incident has been launched, the spokesman said.

The Azeri Air Force has about a dozen Soviet-era Su-25s, which are poorly maintained due to budget constraints.

A previous Azeri Su-25 crash in March 2010 killed the pilot.
