Donetsk, Ukraine (CNN) -- Two Ukrainian military jets were shot down Wednesday in the eastern part of the country, where pro-Russian rebels have fought against government forces, a Ukrainian military office said.
The pilots ejected, the office said. Information on their condition wasn't immediately available.
An air defense system shot down the jets after the pilots completed a task in Dmytrivka, a village in Ukraine's Donetsk region near the border with Russia, the military press office said.
