- description: A Turkish jet which reportedly ventured into Syrian airspace has been shot down, with the two pilots understood to have been captured. Conflicting accounts about precisely what happened continue to circulate - Turkish media say that the plane crashed in the Mediterranean. However, a Syrian journalist told RT that residents of the Ras al-Bassit region claim to have seen two Turkish planes flying into Syrian airspace. "They saw two jets flying from the Turkish border to Ras al-Bassit. Syrian Aviation Forces shot them down. One of the planes was detained in Syrian territorial waters and the second one disappeared -- all this information was told by the local residents, I couldn't reach the place but I think the information is right", Ikhab Sultan said.
