Turkish forces are said to have shot down a Russian jet after it flew into the country's airspace, according to unconfirmed reports on social media. It has been claimed by eyewitnesses that there was a large explosion in Huraytan, northern Syria, while three fighter planes were seen overhead.
Update - It has been confirmed on the BBC. NATO has called an emergency meeting. Turkey claims the Russian SU-24 violated it's airspace.
