Russia accuses Ukraine of violating U.S.-brokered three-day truce

Russia has accused Ukraine of violating a U.S.-brokered three-day truce that began on Saturday. Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed over 1,000 ceasefire violations by Ukrainian forces, including attacks on civilian targets and military positions. Ukraine, while not directly accusing Russia of violating the truce, reported casualties from Russian drone and artillery strikes. In the past 24 hours, one person was killed and three injured in Zaporizhzhia, and seven wounded in Kherson due to Russian attacks. Additionally, a Russian drone strike injured five people in Kharkiv. Moscow-installed officials in Kherson reported two injuries from Ukrainian shelling.

Russia claims Ukraine has violated a three-day truce over 1,000 times since it began on Saturday. Despite this ceasefire, Russia launched attacks that killed at least three Ukrainians in the past 24 hours. Deaths were reported in the Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kherson regions, with a 58-year-old woman killed in a drone attack in Kherson and a 46-year-old woman killed in Dnipropetrovsk. Other regions, including Kharkiv, also reported injuries from drone and artillery strikes. Ukraine's air force stated that 27 Russian drones were launched overnight, all of which were intercepted.
