An Indian navy surveillance aircraft crashed off west coast state of Goa with two officers on-board missing on Tuesday night.
"Last evening a navy Dornier during a routine training sortie off Goa ditched into sea," an Indian Navy statement said Wednesday.
The Dornier aircraft plunged into the sea, some 25 nautical miles off Goa, around 10:00 pm Tuesday. Search and rescue work is going on, the statement said.
Search teams which rescued one survivor are looking for two missing officers.
This incident comes months after a naval ship sank off the south-eastern coast of India leaving one worker dead and four others missing, a Hindustan Times report said today.
