Russia launched a fresh wave of attacks on Ukraine using kamikaze drones and missiles early in the morning on Monday, April 21, just as the Easter truce expired.
Axar.az reports, citing Ukrainian media, just hours after the truce ended at midnight Sunday, Ukrainian officials reported renewed strikes in multiple regions, including Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk.
Ukrainian forces also warned of Moscow planning to drop glide bombs from Russian aircraft, and the threat of more missile strikes in Sumy and Kharkiv.
Mykolaiv was targeted by missiles, but Mayor Oleksandr Senkevich reported no casualties or damage. Explosions were also reported in Cherkasy, Kherson, and Odesa regions.
It’s worth noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin had declared an “Easter truce” in the Russia-Ukraine war starting at 6:00 p.m. on April 19. The ceasefire ended on the night of April 21.
