Russia resumes attacks on Ukraine's Kherson region after truce ends

Russia on Monday resumed attacks on Ukraine's Kherson region, after the end of a local ceasefire in the area, the longest truce in the war raging between the neighbours since 2022.


"At around 8:00 am this morning, Russian occupiers attacked a car with a drone in the Korabelny city district" of Kherson, local authorities said in a statement, adding that a 62-year-old woman and 73-year-old man were wounded and hospitalised.

Turkey ⁠is the only remaining transit route for Russian gas to ‌Europe after Ukraine declined to extend a ⁠five-year transit agreement with Moscow that expired in January 2025.

  • Cyber attacks hit Russia, Ukraine after truce ends

    Russia said its emergency warnings app came under a "massive cyberattack" on Monday, hours after Ukraine reported a hack in an apparent exchange of blows between the foes, as their longest truce came to an end.


    Moscow's emergencies ministry said hackers posted "false information" on the app, which is designed to warn the public of incoming drone attacks and other threats.


    Hours earlier, Ukraine said it suspected its air raid alert system had been compromised, after baseless alerts of a radiation threat appeared on the app.


    The cyber attacks came as the longest truce of the war, limited to Ukraine's eastern Kherson region, ended on Sunday after Russia refused the offer of an extension, according to Kyiv.

    Work was under way to identify ​the ​source of ​the attacks, Rosstat ​was quoted as saying.
