A Russian Tu-22M3 long-range bomber (a Soviet-era supersonic aircraft widely used by Russia's air force) crashed during a training flight in the Irkutsk region of Siberia. The incident occurred while the aircraft was on a non-combat exercise mission, though details on casualties or the cause of the crash remain limited. The loss is notable given Russia's continued reliance on Tu-22M3s for strategic strike operations, including in its war against Ukraine.
