Russian forces resumed military operations against Ukraine after the end of a 30-hour Easter truce declared by President Vladimir Putin. The truce, aimed at pausing hostilities during the Orthodox Easter holiday, concluded at midnight on Sunday. Both nations accused each other of numerous violations during the ceasefire, with Ukraine reporting nearly 3,000 breaches by Russia, and Russia claiming over 4,900 violations by Ukraine.
Post-truce, Russia launched 96 drones and three missiles targeting Ukraine, affecting regions such as Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Cherkasy. Ukraine's air defense systems downed 42 of these drones, while electronic warfare neutralized an additional 47. The attacks led to injuries, including at least three people in Odesa from a drone strike on a residential building.
In retaliation, Ukraine executed a drone strike on Russia's 51st GRAU arsenal near Moscow, causing significant explosions and fires. This facility, holding over 100,000 tons of munitions, prompted evacuations in nearby areas due to the ongoing detonations.
The conflict has intensified with both sides engaging in heavy aerial and drone warfare, underscoring the instability of the recent ceasefire and the persistent conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
