A Turkmen official in Syria has said that his forces shot dead both Russian pilots as they parachuted to the ground after ejecting from their downed Su-24 jet.
Earlier today, a Syrian rebel group claimed that its gunmen had shot dead one of the pilots. The fate of the other pilot was unknown.
This claim is not yet verified.

Turkmen Deputy Commander to the 2nd Coast Division Alpaslan Çelik told Turkey's Dogan news agency that both pilots were killed.
"We shot the pilots while they were landing with parachutes. Their bodies are here," Çelik said.
Turkey's Hurriyet News has posted a video that alleges to show the killing of the two Russian pilots from the downed Su-24 jet.
Turkmen rebels claim that they shot dead both of the pilots as they parachuted out of the downed plane.
Gunfire can be heard throughout the video. A man shouts in Turkish, asking gunmen not to shoot, because the pilots are potential hostages.
"Don't shoot! A hostage is coming, a hostage," the man shouts according to Hurriyet.
The authenticity of the video has not been independently confirmed.

Pro-Kremlin sources on Facebook are claiming that one of the Russian pilots killed following the downing of the Russian Su-24 jet was Major Sergey Alexandrovich Rumyantsev, from Chelyabinsk.
The identity of the two Russian pilots has not been officially confirmed and so far this remains a rumor.
However, some Russian news sites have also reported that the killed pilot was Rumyantsev, with the caveat that this is unconfirmed.
A VKontakte page purportedly belonging to Sergey Rumyantsev was linked in the news reports. It was last updated on September 19.
