Russia has rejected Ukraine's unilateral ceasefire, launching dozens of drone strikes across the country. The attack came just hours after Ukraine announced a temporary halt to hostilities to allow for civilian evacuations.
Deadly Strike in Kramatorsk
In a separate incident, a Russian aerial guided bomb attack in Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, killed multiple civilians. Graphic images released by Ukraine's 93rd Kholodnyi Yar Separate Mechanized Brigade show bodies of victims covered on the ground. The strike highlights the ongoing brutality of the conflict.
International Response
The international community has condemned Russia's actions. Ukrainian officials called the drone barrage a deliberate escalation, while Russia claimed it was targeting military infrastructure. No peace talks are currently scheduled.
Civilian Toll
The war continues to exact a heavy toll on civilians. Thousands have been killed or displaced since the conflict began. Humanitarian corridors remain unsafe due to ongoing shelling and air strikes.
