A Russian military transport plane carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war on their way for a prisoner exchange has crashed over Russia's Belgorod region, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said.
According to the TASS state news agency, there were also six Russian crew members and three escorts on board the Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft. It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, which occurred around 11 a.m. Moscow time (0800 UTC). It was also not known if anyone survived the crash. A special military commission was on the way to the crash site near the border with Ukraine, the ministry said.
There was no immediate official reaction from Ukraine. Ukrainian media, however, cited military sources as saying that Ukrainian forces downed the plane and that it was transporting missiles. The Kremlin said in response to a reporter's question that it was looking into the situation. The Belgorod region has come under frequent attack from Ukraine in recent months.

In its statement, the court said it had "reasonable grounds" to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant oversaw attacks on the civilian population in Gaza, and that they were also alleged to have used starvation as an instrument of war. It said that Israel's acceptance of the court's jurisdiction was not required. Israel is not a member of the court, seated in The Hague in the Netherlands.
