And the ministry added - in a statement reported by the American (Al-Hurra) channel today, Monday, that the "F-16" fighters were allowed to fly at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, which caused an explosion to be heard throughout the capital and its suburbs during the pursuit of the civilian plane.
