A Turkish F-16 has shot down Syrian aircraft jet that violated Turkey’s airspace in the southern province of Hatay.
A statement released by the government said that two missiles were launched at the stray aircraft, which was intercepted by several Turkish fighter jets.
“The area is currently being searched for the crashed aircraft. It would soon be seen if it was a plane or a helicopter,” one official told Hurriyet newspaper.
Eyewitnesses told local media that a military plane crossed into Turkey twice on Saturday, before being hit, falling on the Syrian side and breaking into three pieces.
