Looks like a simple landing incident from the short blurb. The paper would likely have indicated if combat related, I think. Suspect an engine out off-field, and cannot see the engine area to see if it looks damaged. So I would guess that it was unprovoked. Will look forward to see if specific info available.

The caption says it was a mishap which is pretty clear to me that it was an accident. Also, if there were no caption, statistically the chances of a questionable crash photo being an accident are much higher than being the result of combat since so many more machines and pilots were killed in accidents than combat.
