Algeria's Defense Ministry says a bomber has crashed during a training exercise in the center of the country, killing the two service members aboard.
The SU-24 bomber crashed Monday afternoon according to the ministry, killing the pilot and the navigator, near the Hassi Bahbah airbase, 240 kilometers (150 miles) south of Algiers.
Algeria has suffered a number of plane crashes this year, most recently when an Air Algerie plane flying from Burkina Faso crashed during bad weather in northern Mali in July, killing 116 people.
