KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine says U.S. experts have joined an investigation into why an F-16 warplane that Ukraine received from its Western partners crashed earlier this week during a Russian bombardment. Ukraine’s air force chief said Friday that a detailed analysis is being conducted into why the F-16 jet went down on Monday, when Russia launched a major missile and drone barrage. Meanwhile, officials said a Russian attack on the northeastern city of Kharkiv using powerful glide bombs killed five people, including a 14-year-old girl on a playground, and wounded 47 others. The bombs struck five locations across the city, which had a prewar population of around 1.4 million people.
