Ukraine Accuses Russia for Downing Two Su-25 Fighter Jets Over Dmytrivka

At the New York Times, "2 Ukrainian Fighter Jets Shot Down as Fighting Intensifies."

And at the Los Angeles Times, "Ukraine believes missiles from Russia downed 2 military jets":

Ukrainian officials said Wednesday that two military jets have been shot down in the eastern part of the country, and the missiles that downed them may have been launched from Russia.

There was no immediate response from Russian officials. Russia's state-run Itar-Tass news agency reported that the planes were shot down by a Ukrainian separatist militia.

The pilots of the Su-25 fighter aircraft ejected from the planes, the Ukrainian government said, but their whereabouts are unknown. The incidents occurred near the Russian border, in a part of Ukraine where the government is waging a battle against pro-Russia separatists.

However, at an afternoon security briefing, a Ukrainian defense spokesman said the military believes that the missiles that brought down the planes came not from separatists in Ukraine but from the Russian side of the border.

"They were downed not by terrorists," said Andriy Lysenko, spokesman for the National Security and Defense Council, using the government's term for the separatists. "‎According to our preliminary information it was done from across the border."
