- India and South Korea ordered inspections of Boeing fuel control switches after the June 12 crash of Flight 171.
- The preliminary report revealed both fuel switches were turned off seconds after takeoff, suggesting human involvement.
- Air India had not performed FAA-advised inspections on the locking mechanisms since they were not mandatory.
- The airline aims to resume normal flight operations by October 1 following inspections and route disruptions.
The tone and direction of the investigation suggest a bias toward pilot error.— The Airline Pilots’ Association of India commented on Saturday regarding the findings of the investigation.

- Following the May air clashes between India and Pakistan, Chinese embassies were found to have promoted negative narratives about Rafale fighter jets’ performance.
- The campaign aimed to dissuade current Rafale buyers like Indonesia from purchasing more and to encourage choosing Chinese-made alternatives.
- It involved manipulated imagery, AI-generated videos, and over 1,000 new social media accounts spreading pro-China messages.
- France views this disinformation as a broader attempt to undermine its defense industry’s reputation and strategic partnerships worldwide.
The Rafale was not randomly targeted. It is a highly capable fighter jet, exported abroad and deployed in a high-visibility theatre.— France's Defence Ministry regarding the targeted disinformation campaign against the Rafale.
