Ju 86 P loss(es) on 15 April 1941 in Ukraine

The LW lost one Ju 86 P over Ukraina on 15 April 1941. According to David Kahn’s Hitler’s Spies (1978) the LW lost two planes during their clandestine photo recon operations over the USSR, one of them a Ju 86 with pressurized cabin, which suffered sustained engine trouble at 39,000 ft and descended to 16,000, whence Soviet fighters forced it down.
According to Timin, Mikhail, Air Battles over the Baltic 1941 (2018) Junkers Ju 86 P was forced to make an emergency landing in the area around Rivne on 15 April 1941. According to Bergström, Christer, Barbarossa - The Air Battle: July–December 1941 (2007) on 15 April 1941 a Ju 86 P crash landed near Rovno and inclement weather forced down another Ju 86 P near Vinnitsa. Rivne/ Rovno is about 220 km NW of Vinnytsia/Vinnitsa, and Rivne Raion 255 – 204 km NW of Vinnytsia.
Did the LW lost two Ju 86 Ps on 15 April 1941 and did Soviet fighters play an active role in one of the cases?

TIA
Juha
