CBS News reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired Army Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, the Pentagon's top military planner, over alleged leaks. A Pentagon official told CBS News of the removal.

PBS NewsHour reported that Sylvia was the second general under Hegseth to be removed as head of strategy, plans and policy on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That report is credited to Konstantin Toropin of The Associated Press.

PBS NewsHour's headline places the removal alongside a separate development, describing it as occurring while Trump considers new Iran strikes. The summary of that report does not give further detail about the strikes under consideration.

The two reports differ in emphasis. CBS News's headline ties the firing to alleged leaks, while the PBS NewsHour summary does not state a reason for the removal. The summaries do not describe a statement from Sylvia.

Both reports describe the action as a firing, and the PBS NewsHour headline uses the same verb. The summaries also do not say who will take over the role Sylvia held or when a replacement might be named.
