On Tuesday, Turkey said that after repeated warnings over 5 minutes, Turkish F-16s shot down a fighter jet flying over its territory near the Syrian border. Russia's Defense Ministry said the jet was Russian, that it hasn't had any contact with the pilots since they parachuted out of the Su-24, and that it is "looking into the circumstances of the crash of the Russian jet." Russia said its jet was brought down by artillery fire and added, "The Ministry of Defense would like to stress that the plane was over the Syrian territory throughout the flight."
