      Istanbul (CNN) -- Turkey officially considers the shooting down of one of its military fighter jets by Syria to be a hostile act, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Sunday.
      Turkey delivered the message in a diplomatic note to the Syrian consulate in Istanbul, ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal told CNN.
      Turkish search-and-rescue teams found the wreckage of the fighter jet in the Mediterranean Sea on Sunday, about 1,300 meters (4,260 feet) underwater, he said.
      They have not reached the wreck yet, he added. There was no word about survivors of the two-man crew.
