It is possible that two aircraft were involved in the incident.
The media outlet reported, citing the local authorities, that the crash happened during military exercises.
The F-16 single-engine aircraft was originally developed for the US army, with more than 20 countries worldwide importing the plane.
In April, an F-16 jet that the United States had given to Indonesia for free set on fire during takeoff.
In 2012, a US F-16 Falcon fighter aircraft crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Russia’s Kuril Islands.
