There is also no independent confirmation of the plane's destruction, although video posted to social media seemed to back-up the beseiged nation's claims. According to CNN, satellite images from Maxar Technologies show damage to part of the hangar where the Mriya was stored.Ĭurrently, the Antonov company has not released any comment on the plane's status and said that more details would be released after the aircraft is examined by experts, reports Sravasti Dasgupta for the Independent.
