Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had a phone conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama late Tuesday after Turkish Air Forces shot down a Russian warplane earlier in the day, Turkish officials said.
A Russian fighter-bomber was shot down earlier Tuesday by Turkish F-16s after being repeatedly warned about violating Turkish airspace, said the Turkish military.
Obama said the U.S. and NATO supported Turkey's right to protect its national sovereignty, Turkish presidential sources said.
The two leaders also agreed on the importance of making the necessary arrangements to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again.
