Fighting resumes in Kherson after longest Ukraine war ceasefire
Briefing by News4U · First published
Fighting has resumed in Ukraine's Kherson region after a six-day humanitarian ceasefire — the longest since Russia's full-scale invasion began in 2022 — that quieted the front and allowed hundreds trapped in Russian-occupied Oleshky to evacuate, the BBC reports. Local authorities said Monday that strikes restarted, with Moscow hitting a medical facility in Kherson city centre and a Russian drone injuring a 62-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man. Ukraine's General Staff accused Russian forces of using the pause to rotate units and deliver ammunition; Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Ukrainian forces likely regrouped too and reiterated there are no similar ceasefire plans. US First Lady Melania Trump brokered the truce. [1]
