Russian lawmaker says plane carrying POWs was downed by three missiles

Andrei Kartapolov, a member of Russia's State Duma and a retired general, said a military transport plane that crashed in southern Russia on Wednesday was shot down by three missiles of types that the West has supplied to Ukraine.

Kartapolov did not state the source of his information. He said investigations would reveal whether the missiles were Patriots or IRIS-Ts.
