A Russian fighter jet is shot down by Turkey near the Turkish-Syrian border on Tuesday, November 24. One of the two pilots was killed in the air, while the second was rescued. Turkey said it hit the plane after it violated Turkey's airspace and ignored 10 warnings. Russia has contested the claim, and its rescued co-pilot told state media that "there were no warnings -- not via the radio, not visually." Turkey's military has released audio it says proves its claim; Russia has yet to address the audio. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the Russian plane was attacked a kilometer inside Syrian territory, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said it crashed in Turkey, injuring two people.
