Russian diplomat: One of 2 Russian pilots rescued by Syrian army
A Russian diplomat says the Syrian army has rescued one of the two pilots from the fighter jet downed by Turkey.
Russia's ambassador to France says after the pilot managed to escape, he was picked up by Syrian government forces. The Kremlin had already confirmed the death of one of its pilots. However, earlier, the Turkmen militant group fighting the Syrian government claimed to have killed both Russian pilots. As tensions are soaring between Ankara and Moscow, the Russian military says the guided missile cruiser, Moskva, is set to be stationed near Latakia, on Syria’s Mediterranean border. It’s warning that the shooting down would have "the gravest consequences".
