Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet crashes, pilot killed
Russia launched 200 missiles and drones targeting the energy sector that day.
A Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet crashed while intercepting Russian missiles.
The incident happened on Monday, according to the military of Kiev.
This is the first such damage to Ukraine since the delivery of the US-made warplane in early August.
Ukraine's General Staff said on Facebook on Thursday that the fighter jet crashed while approaching a Russian target. F-16 fighter pilot Oleksii Mays was killed.
Reuters also reported that the F-16 fighter jets "showed high efficiency" and shot down four Russian cruise missiles.
However, a US defense official told Reuters that Monday's plane crash was likely caused by a technical fault rather than a Russian attack.
