One of the F-16 fighter jets sent from Nato allies to Ukraine has been destroyed, a Ukrainian military source has told the BBC.
The aircraft went down amid a barrage of Russian missiles on Monday, killing pilot Oleksiy Mes after he destroyed three cruise missiles and one drone in Russia’s largest aerial attack to date, Ukraine’s military said.
It marks the first loss of its kind since the planes were delivered earlier this month.
