Russia Breaks Ceasefire After Victory Day Parade
Despite a declared three-day ceasefire intended to span May 9-11, Russian attacks continued, resulting in at least one civilian death and 19 injuries across various Ukrainian oblasts. Over the past day and overnight, Russia launched 27 drones, all of which Ukraine’s Air Force reported intercepting. However, drone and artillery strikes caused damage to residential buildings, homes, cars, and infrastructure in regions including Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy, impacting civilians of all ages. While some areas reported no casualties, the persistence of fighting on front lines and continued strikes indicate a fragile and potentially brief pause in hostilities.
