A Mirage 2000 fighter jet, supplied by France to Ukraine, crashed during a mission due to equipment failure, the Ukrainian military announced. The pilot ejected safely and was found in stable condition by rescue teams. The incident, which occurred in the Volyn region, marks Ukraine’s first loss of a Mirage aircraft. The French-supplied Mirages arrived in Ukraine in February. No casualties were reported on the ground.
Speaking at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized the international community for failing to stop Israel’s attacks on Gaza, where he said “babies, children, and the elderly die of starvation.” He called for urgent UN reform, arguing the current system cannot end oppression in the Middle East.
Erdoğan also highlighted Türkiye’s role in supporting regional peace efforts in Syria, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia, stressing cooperation through the Turkic States Organization and major transport projects like the Middle Corridor and Development Road. He said Türkiye seeks a just global order based on diplomacy, trade, and stability.
