A Mirage-2000 fighter aircraft of the IAF crashed in an agriculture field in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district on Thursday after developing a snag, a defence spokesperson said. Both pilots ejected safely and were being airlifted to Gwalior by a helicopter, he said. The twin-seater trainer aircraft caught fire after crashing in an agriculture field near Barheta Sani village at around 2.40 pm. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered into the incident, he added.
