"Russian Military Plane Crash and Prisoner Exchange: New Developments Unfold"
TL;DR
A satellite image of the crash site of the Russian Il-76 military transport plane has been released, showing a 500-meter-long trail left by the plane during the crash. The debris scatter pattern suggests the plane was falling from west to east, away from Belgorod Airport, but it's unclear if it was flying in that direction before being hit by a missile. The plane was reportedly transporting over 60 Ukrainian prisoners of war when it crashed in Russia's Belgorod region.
