Another pilot parachuting out of the jet before it crashed was captured by Turkmen forces.
Russian helicopters, flying over the Turkmen Bayirbucak region, are searching the two pilots. Armed Turkmens don’t allow helicopters to land. 20-25 minutes after the warplane was downed, Turkmen positions were subjected to intense shelling.
Two Turkish citizens were wounded after the explosion of the downed Russian warplane. They are residents of Dutlubahce village of Yayladagi, in Hatay province on the Syrian border. One of them underwent surgery, the other one is reportedly in stable condition.
