(Morning News) BBC reported that the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces claimed to shot down a Russian Il-76 transport aircraft carrying paratroopers.
BBC indicates that it cannot independently verify the news.
Ilyushin IL-76 is a large multi-purpose four-engine military aircraft.
The Ukrainian armed forces said in Facebook that the Ukrainian air defense forces shot down the plane near Vasylkiv near Kiev.
The statement said that this was a revenge on the shot of a Ukrainian paratrooper in 2014.
