Russian soldiers fire a weapon from an undisclosed site in Ukraine. One of the handful of F-16 warplanes that Ukraine has received from its Western partners to help fight Russia’s invasion has crashed, Ukraine’s air force said Thursday. Earlier Thursday, Russia conducted a heavy aerial attack on Ukraine for the third time in four days, again launching missiles and scores of drones that mostly were intercepted, Ukraine’s air force said.

Also Thursday, Ukraine’s army General Staff acknowledged Ukraine’s involvement in strikes this week on oil depots deep inside Russia, where fires broke out.
