Turkey 'shoots down Russian warplane on Syria border

Russian military aircraft on the border with Syria.
Russia's defence ministry said an Su-24 had crashed on Syrian territory after being hit by fire from the ground, and that its pilots had managed to eject.
But Turkish military officials said Turkish F-16s had shot down the plane after repeatedly warning its pilots they were violating Turkish airspace.
Video showed the jet crashing in a rebel-held area of Latakia province.
