Turkish fighter jet downs Syrian regime warplane over Idlib

A Turkish fighter jet has shot down a Syrian government warplane over western Syria, the country's defence ministry has said.

An F-16 jet from the Turkish air force shot down an L-39 plane belonging to Assad's forces over Idlib province on Tuesday.

Turkey is attempting to stop a Syrian government attack on Idlib amid fears it will spark a fresh refugee crisis on its eastern border.
