Ukraine Uses F-16s Amid Major Russian Barrage

News summary

Ukraine has successfully used its newly acquired F-16 fighter jets to intercept Russian missiles amid the largest barrage of Russian missile and drone attacks since the war began. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the use of F-16s and expressed gratitude for Western support, while emphasizing the need for more jets and trained pilots. The attacks killed at least five people, destroyed critical infrastructure, and caused widespread power outages. In retaliation for Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region, Moscow launched 327 missiles and drones, with Ukraine claiming to have intercepted 266 of them. Zelensky has called for joint air defense operations and long-range capabilities from allies to better defend Ukrainian skies and retaliate against Russian aggression. The U.S. has prioritized air defense exports and is aiding in energy infrastructure repairs to enhance Ukraine's resilience.
