An explosion on a Daallo Airlines flight departing from Mogadishu forced an emergency landing.

Metrojet Flight 9268 Crash, ISIS Claim Skepticism
Russian Metrojet Flight 9268 crashed in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, killing all 224 people on board. Rita Katz of the SITE Intelligence Group reported an ISIS claim of responsibility, which the hosts view with skepticism due to the aircraft's 31,000-foot altitude. Aviation experts suggest the wreckage indicates a potential stall or structural failure rather than a missile strike.
