Daesh has managed to shoot down a fighter jet belonging to Assad’s forces in the vicinity of Al-Bukamal in eastern Deir Ezzor amidst heavy clashes between both parties.

The organization announced that the crew of the downed jet ( two pilots) were captured in the vicinity of the Buqaan village in the countryside of Al-Bukamal, without saying anything about the kind of weapons it used to bring the jet down.
