A Russian Il-76 plane carrying Ukrainian POWs was presumably downed by a Western-made Patriot missile system, a law enforcement source told TASS.

"Most likely, a Patriot missile system was used. A probe continues" he said. Another source confirmed this information to TASS.

 An investigation continues into the crash of an Il-76 plane in the Belgorod Region, which was downed by a Ukrainian missile, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"I can confirm that the investigation continues," Peskov said at a briefing, adding that he was unable to say at what stage the investigation currently was.
