Ukraine has lost an F-16 aircraft and its pilot while repelling a Russian missile and drone strike, according to country’s air force, as heavy fighting in the war, now in its fourth year, grinds on daily with no signs of a ceasefire on the horizon, Aljazeera reported.

After shooting down seven air targets, the plane was damaged and lost altitude overnight, the Ukrainian military said in a statement published on Telegram on Sunday.

“This night, while repelling a massive enemy air attack, a pilot of the 1st class, Lieutenant Colonel Maksym Ustimenko, born in 1993, died on an F-16 aircraft,” it said, according to Aljazeera.

The US and Israeli bombing of Iranian nuclear sites creates a conundrum for UN inspectors in Iran: how can you tell if enriched uranium stocks, some of them near weapons grade, were buried beneath the rubble or secretly hidden away?

Following last weekend's attacks on three of Iran's top nuclear sites - at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan - President Donald Trump said the facilities had been "obliterated" by US munitions, including bunker-busting bombs, Reuters reported.

But the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, which monitors Tehran's nuclear program, has said it's unclear exactly what damage was sustained at Fordow, a plant buried deep inside a mountain that produced the bulk of Iran's most highly enriched uranium.

A heatwave continues to grip large parts of Europe, with authorities in many countries issuing health warnings amid searing temperatures, BBC reported.

Southern Spain is the worst-affected region, with temperatures in the mid-40s Celsius recorded in Seville and neighbouring areas.

A new heat record for June of 46C was set on Saturday in the town of El Granado, according to Spain's national weather service, which also said this month is on track to be the hottest June on record.

Red heat warnings are in force in parts of Portugal, Italy and Croatia, with numerous amber warnings covering areas of Spain, France, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia and Switzerland, according to BBC.

President Donald Trump has said he has a buyer for TikTok, the video-sharing app that was banned in the US amid claims it posed a national security risk, BBC reported.

In a Fox News interview, Trump said he had a group of "very wealthy people" willing to acquire the platform. "I'll tell you in about two weeks," he teased.

A sale would need approval from the Chinese government, but Trump told Fox he thought President Xi Jinping "will probably do it".

This month Trump delayed for a third time the enforcement of a law mandating TikTok's sale, according to BBC.

A sprawling budget bill in the US Senate could cut health insurance coverage for nearly 12 million Americans and add $3.3tn (£2.4tn) in debt, according to new estimates, BBC reported.

The assessment from the Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan federal agency, could complicate Republican efforts to pass President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act in the coming days. 

The spending plan narrowly cleared a preliminary vote in the Senate late on Saturday after party leaders scrambled to arm-twist hesitant members of their rank and file.

One defector, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, announced he would not seek reelection after voting against the president's signature legislation, according to BBC.

A Republican US senator from North Carolina has said he will not run for reelection next year, a day after he opposed a sprawling budget bill that is key to President Donald Trump's agenda, BBC reported.

Thom Tillis, 64, announced he would leave Congress because he said independent thinkers in Washington had become "an endangered species".

Trump criticised Tillis on Saturday for not backing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and threatened to support other candidates.

The president has also denounced other fellow Republican lawmakers who oppose his bill, including Senator Rand Paul and congressman Thomas Massie, both of Kentucky, according to BBC.
