A fighter jet crashed in eastern Saudi Arabia on Monday, according to the country’s defense ministry.

He said the aircraft’s crew survived unharmed.
An investigation has been launched into the cause of the crash.
Last month, two pilots were killed when an F-15 fighter crashed during a training mission in southwestern Saudi Arabia.
