Russian bombs kill 18 at aid centre as Kherson truce ends and fighting resumes

On Monday, Kyiv said at least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs hit a village in southern Ukraine, killing 18 people at an aid centre, and local officials say 27 people are missing. Fighting returned to the Kherson region after the six-day local ceasefire, described as the longest of the war, ended on Sunday evening without extension. Ukraine and Russia then reported hacks of their emergency alert apps and traded blame.

• Kyiv says at least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs hit a southern village, killing 18 at an aid centre; local officials say 27 are missing.
• The Kherson truce ended on Sunday evening. Hundreds of residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky had been evacuated, and the WFP is giving hot meals to more than 400 of them.
• Ukraine's air force says its national air raid alert app was probably hacked as the truce ended, and Moscow reported a hack of its own emergency alerts app.
• Russian state media say Ukrainian drones set fire to the Kstovo refinery in Nizhny Novgorod region after a major strike on a Rosneft refinery in Samara region. Russian strikes also cut power to thousands in Ukraine on Sunday.
