Taipei, Taiwan: A pilot is missing after ejecting from a fighter jet during a nighttime training exercise on Tuesday night, Taiwan's defense ministry said
The Mirage 2000 fighter jet lost power at around 8 p.m. local time, the defense ministry said.
Rescuers were searching for the pilot.
The plane was flying in the waters off the coast of Hsinchu, a city just south of Taipei, on the island's west coast.
Taiwan purchased the Mirage 2000 jets from France during the 1990s, and relies on them as well as U.S.-made F-16Vs in its air force.
