Pictures appear to show the aftermath of that fighter plane crash in the Russian city of Irkutsk.
The images, posted to Twitter by the Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda, show thick smoke rising from a cluster of houses in a residential neighbourhood. Another shows flames engulfing a building.
The Guardian has not been able to independently verify the pictures.
A Russian fighter plane has crashed into a residential building in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, the regional governor has said.
Posting to Telegram on Sunday, Igor Kobzev said the plane hit a two-storey house and that its two pilots had both been killed. He added that there had been no other casualties.
Footage included in the post showed emergency workers moving among the wreckage and working to put out fires at the site.
It is the second such incident in six days, Reuters reports. Last Monday, at least 15 people were killed after a fighter plane hit an apartment block in the southern city of Yeysk, near the Ukrainian border.
