Kherson truce ends as both sides report hacks of air raid alert apps

The localised Kherson-region ceasefire, described as the longest truce of the war, expired on Sunday evening and was not extended. Ukraine's air force said its national air raid alert app was probably hacked minutes after the truce ended, and Moscow then reported a hack of its own emergency alerts app, with the two sides trading blame. Russian strikes cut power to thousands of people in Ukraine on Sunday, and Russian state media say Ukrainian drones set fire to the Kstovo refinery.

• Hundreds of residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky were able to evacuate during the several-day truce, reaching Belarus on Saturday on their way to Ukraine.
• Russian state media say Ukrainian drones hit the Kstovo refinery in Nizhny Novgorod region after a major strike on a Rosneft refinery in Samara region. The Kremlin says Kyiv is ignoring US wishes.
• The US approved the sale of 500 Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine on Friday.
• Erdogan hosted Zelenskyy in Istanbul on Saturday and urged both sides to stop Black Sea attacks. The two leaders agreed to work on a new grain corridor.
