Violations of Ceasefire: Recent Attacks Claim One Life and Injure 15 in Ukraine
Putin and Zelensky have agreed to observe a 32-hour ceasefire during Orthodox Easter, but recent attacks in Ukraine have already claimed one life and injured 15 people. The city of Poltava and the border region of Sumy were targeted in the attacks. The ceasefire is set to commence on Saturday, but previous attempts at temporary truces have been marred by violations.
A drone strike in Poltava resulted in the death of one person and the injury of another, according to Vitaly Dyakivnych, the head of the regional military administration. Additionally, 14 people were wounded in Sumy due to drone strikes on residential areas. These attacks occurred just hours before the scheduled ceasefire for Orthodox Easter celebrations.
Two separate Russian attacks in Ukraine, occurring overnight before the Orthodox Easter ceasefire, have caused casualties. The ceasefire, intended to last from Saturday to Sunday, was set to begin at 13:00 GMT. The drone strike in Poltava, targeting a shop and a cafe, resulted in one fatality and one injury. The regional military administration shared this information via Telegram.
In conclusion, the recent attacks in Ukraine have already claimed one life and injured 15 people, just hours before the agreed ceasefire for Orthodox Easter. The ceasefire, set to last 32 hours, aims to provide a temporary respite in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
