From the Wikipedia article
The 2024 Sea of Azov Beriev A-50U shootdown was an aviation incident that occurred during the Russian invasion of Ukraine on January 14, 2024.
On the evening of January 14, 2024, Ukraine reported that a Russian Beriev A-50 reconnaissance aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov. A Russian Ilyushin Il-22 was also shot at but managed to land at Anapa Airport, although the commander was killed, several occupants were injured, including the co-pilot, and the plane was damaged.
Journalists called the downing of the A-50 one of the largest single losses of Russian aviation during the entire Russian invasion of Ukraine.
