According to reports, the crash took place around 10.30 in the morning. The pilot was able to eject safely and has been rescued. The Navy has started an enquiry to investigate the incident.     

This comes three months after another MiG-29K fighter jet of the Indian Navy crashed outside a village in Goa in November 2019.
