Investigators searching the site where a Russian military transport plane crashed in a border region near Ukraine have reportedly found the flight recorders. The report Thursday by a state-run Russian news agency came a day after Moscow accused Kyiv of shooting down the aircraft, and Ukraine’s president demanded an international investigation. The Il-76 fell from the sky and crashed in a huge ball of flame in a rural area of Russia on Wednesday. Russian authorities said all 74 people on board were killed and accused Kyiv of shooting down the plane with a missile. They claimed 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war were on board but offered no evidence.
