WASHINGTON, Oct 4 (Reuters) - A Russian plane that crashed into the Black Sea with more than 70 people on board may have been hit by a surface-to-air missile, U.S. officials said on Thursday.
The plane could have been a victim of a tragic accident rather than of an act of terror, said the officials, who asked to remain unidentified.
"It could well have been a training accident, it could have been the Ukrainian military conducting a live-fire test. It could be a tragic accident," one official said.
Initial reports from the Pentagon were that there may have been a launch of a surface-to-air missile or missiles from the Crimea that may have brought the plane down, the officials said.
"It's still very early and we should not rush to any conclusions," one official said.
