00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed the commander of the country's
00:18air force four days after an F-16 warplane crashed and killed the pilot.
00:23In his nightly video address, Zelenskyy confirmed Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk had been
00:27removed saying we need to protect people, protect personnel.
00:31The F-15 fighter was one of six believed to have been delivered to Ukraine as part of
00:36a military aid package from Western allies.
00:39Meanwhile, a Russian glide bomb attack on the northeastern city of Kharkiv has killed
00:44six people including a 14-year-old girl and wounded 47 others.
00:58North Korea has revealed what appears to be an upgraded version of its 240-millimeter
01:03multiple rocket launcher.
01:05The regime state-run media reported Wednesday that Kim Jong-un the day before oversaw a
01:10test firing of the weapon with a new guidance system.
01:13The report claimed the test launch verified the weapon's performance with renewed maneuverability
01:18and firing capability.
01:20Kim reportedly also announced an important policy regarding the production and replacement
01:24of the weapon.
01:27On a road outside Jenin this morning, Israeli forces came face-to-face with the man they
01:42believe led Hamas here.
01:45Inside the white car, Wissam Hazem, shot dead by the army.
01:51And with him, two other men who tried to escape, killed in an airstrike as they ran.
01:58Israel says all were involved in shooting and bombing attacks.
02:03The eastern areas of Jenin and its refugee camp have both been sealed off for the past
02:08three days and there are fresh reports of casualties including an 82-year-old man who
02:14paramedics said was shot nine times.
02:21An attack about 80 miles north of Burkina Faso's capital on August 24th is one of the
02:31deadliest in nearly a decade of Islamist violence in the West African country.
02:37The date of the attack was verified by a Reuters source and confirmed by both the Burkina Faso
02:42military and the al-Qaeda-linked group that claimed responsibility.
02:46A group of victims' relatives says hundreds of people were killed when jihadists opened
02:51fire on civilians digging defensive trenches on the orders of the military.
02:56Several videos apparently released by the militants on social media and verified by
03:01Reuters showed more than 100 bodies piled in a trench, most of them in civilian clothing.
03:15This was the scene at Leipzig airport, just before dawn, security officials preparing
03:20the first deportation flight from Germany to Afghanistan in three years.
03:25On board were 28 convicted criminals denied permission to remain in Germany.
03:31Such flights have been near impossible to arrange since Germany broke off diplomatic
03:35relations with Afghanistan after the Taliban violently seized power in Kabul in August
03:412021.
