Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, sacked the commander of the air force, Mykola Oleshchuk. Mr Zelensky did not specify a reason, but the dismissal comes a day after Ukraine confirmed that an F-16 fighter jet was destroyed, and its pilot killed, during a Russian missile barrage earlier in the week. Mr Oleshchuk had said that America was helping to investigate the incident’s cause. Ukraine’s army had long sought the American-made F-16s. NATO allies recently supplied a handful as part of an initial batch. The country had just enough pilots trained to fly them.

The Israel Defence Forces hit the first vehicle of an aid convoy in Gaza, killing at least four people. The IDF said that the missile strike had prevented “armed assailants”, who had “seized control” of the car, from attacking the convoy. The American Near East Refugee Aid agency, the convoy’s organiser, said that the lead vehicle’s occupants were from a local transport company.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed air force commander Mykola Oleshchuk, following the destruction of an F-16 fighter jet and the death of its pilot during a Russian missile attack. The dismissal came a day after Oleshchuk mentioned that the U.S. was assisting in investigating the incident. Ukraine has recently received a limited number of American-made F-16s and has trained enough pilots to operate them. In a separate incident, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted the first vehicle of an aid convoy in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least four individuals. The IDF claimed the missile strike was necessary to thwart armed assailants who had taken control of the vehicle, while the American Near East Refugee Aid agency, which organized the convoy, stated that the occupants were from a local transport company.
