Russian military plane that crashed was carrying S-300 missiles, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry ‘still clarifying information’
6:16 am, January 24, 2024
News outlet Ukrainska Pravda reports that the Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft which crashed in Russia’s Belgorod region near the Ukrainian border on Wednesday was carrying missiles, according to sources in Ukraine’s military.

Initially, the newspaper reported that the crash was “the work” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU). It soon updated its report, which now says that an AFU source has confirmed the news of the crash and that sources in the Ukrainian General Staff “claim that the plane was carrying missiles for an S-300 missile system,” but no longer mentions the phrase “the work of the AFU.”

Ukraine's Defense Ministry told Ukrainian outlet Suspilne that it was “still clarifying information” about the incident.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the plane was transporting 65 Ukrainian POWs to the Belgorod region for a prisoner exchange, as well as six crew members and three escorts, according to state media.
