After a long hiatus, Russia has resumed their usage of D-30SN precision-guided glide bombs in Ukraine.

Yesterday afternoon, a strike was carried out on a target just north of Konotop, Sumy Oblast. It was detected late by radars, and was initially mistaken as a Kh-59 cruise missile due to the slow speed and non-ballistic trajectory.

A few hours earlier, a D-30SN strike was carried out on a Ukrainian temporary deployment point in the town of Mykolaivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Locals reported hearing a "whistling sound" before an explosion, which was smaller than any KAB glide-bomb and was only heard by people in Mykolaivka itself.

The second photo is a blurry image of the D-30SN glide-bomb as it approached its target near Konotop.

Al Jazeera has now clarified that the rescue mission is still ongoing inside Iran, but that the missing crew member has been rescued and is alive. An exfiltration attempt from Iran has reportedly not taken place yet.
Reuters, Axios, and Fox News report that the second F-15E crew member has been rescued.

Fox news states that the crew member is safe after a "complex rescue operation that began Friday morning".

Today (April 4), Hezbollah published a total of 41 statements regarding recent operations targeting Israel and the IDF in Israel and southern Lebanon, down from yesterday's 48.

This brings their total stated operations since the beginning of the war to 1,350, with an average of 40.91 per day since March 2.

Note: Hezbollah only announces a small fraction of the total operations carried out against the IDF, and often combines multiple attacks into one statement. This graph only counts total Hezbollah statements.

Fox News reports that the second F-15E crew member (a Weapons System officer) who ejected from the downed fighter jet hiked away from the crash site and hid from Iranian soldiers on an elevated ridge to evade capture. He put out an emergency beacon for U.S. Special Operations pararescue-men and other elite rescue forces, who located the crew and fended off Iranian soldiers. Fox stated that no US soldiers were killed during the operation.

Furthermore, Fox News reported that the A-10 Warthog attack aircraft that crashed on Friday was providing cover for rescue teams involved in locating the first crew member (the pilot), with the A-10 pilot successfully ejecting over Kuwait, before being rescued. They also reported that two rescue helicopters were hit by Iranian fire during the rescue operation on Friday, injuring crewmembers, before allegedly managing to make it out of Iran.

Trump issued a statement regarding the rescue operation. According to him, the operation involved dozens of aircraft, and that the F-15E weapons system operator sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Trump also stated that the F-15E pilot was rescued yesterday, claiming that no U.S. forces were injured - contradicting Fox News' report that the crew of a downed A-10 Warthog attack aircraft providing fire cover for the rescue operation sustained injuries.

The New York Times reports that following the rescue of the F-15E weapons officer, the two transport aircraft (presumably C-130s) used to transport the personnel out of Iran "got stuck" after they landed in Iran.

It was reportedly decided to bring 3 new aircraft to carry out the extractions, and blow up the 2 which got stuck to prevent them from being captured by Iranian forces.

The different lighting in these two images suggests that they are real.

Sunrise in Iran is at 5:49am, which was just over 2 hours ago. The second image shows the C-130 burning with the sun fully up, which is in largely line with the timing of Al Jazeera's reports on the rescue operation.
