The Islamic State has announced what kind of explosive device was used to shoot down the Russian plane in Egypt on October 31, the site for monitoring the activities of radical Islamists, SITE, announced.

224 people were killed in that terrorist attack, and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced retaliation against the perpetrators of the attack.

Referring to the writing of the magazine "Dabik", the Independent announced that the plane of the Russian company "Kogalimaviya" was destroyed by a device consisting of explosives placed in a can of "shveps", a lighter and an improvised trigger.

Traces of explosives were found in the wreckage of a Russian plane that crashed in Egypt on October 31 shortly after takeoff.
