Russian bombs kill 18 at aid centre in southern Ukraine as Kherson truce ends

On Monday Kyiv said at least nine 3,000kg Russian 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 truce, described as the longest of the war, ended on Sunday evening. Ukraine and Russia each reported a hack of their alert apps and traded blame. Western officials say European troops will rehearse a possible deployment to Ukraine if peace is reached.

  • Kyiv says nine or more 3,000kg bombs hit a village, killing 18 at an aid centre; 27 are missing, local officials say.
  • The Kherson truce was not extended. Hundreds of residents of occupied Oleshky evacuated during it, and the WFP is giving hot meals to more than 400 of them.
  • Ukraine's air force says its air raid alert app was probably hacked, and Moscow reported a hack of its emergency alerts app. Each side blames the other.
  • Russian state media say Ukrainian drones set fire to the Kstovo refinery. Russian strikes also cut power to thousands of people in Ukraine.
