    'Missiles Fired At' Russian Passenger Plane Flying Over Syria



    Two missiles were reportedly fired at a Russian plane with at least 159 passengers on board that was flying over Syrian territory. Russian officials admit the jet faced danger, but are not talking of a targeted attack.
    The news broke in on Monday as Interfax, citing “an informed source in Moscow,” reported that a Russian passenger plane was attacked.
    Syrian [officials] informed us that on Monday morning, unidentified forces launched two ground-to-air missiles which exploded in the air very close to a civilian aircraft belonging to a Russian airline,” the source told the Russian agency.
    The pilots reportedly managed to maneuver the plane in time however, “saving the lives of passengers.”
    It is believed the aircraft was intentionally targeted, “but it remains unclear whether the attackers knew it was Russian or not,” the source added.
    However, Russian officials, though admitting the plane might have been endangered, are not yet talking of a targeted attack.

    It was probably a Russian rocket.
