Longest truce of Ukraine war ends in Kherson region without extension

Summary

The longest truce of the Ukraine war, a localised pause limited to the eastern Kherson region, ended on Sunday, with France 24 and RTÉ reporting that Russia refused to extend it; RTÉ says Ukrainian officials had offered an extension. The pause began on Tuesday and enabled a humanitarian mission to the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky, also spelled Olechky. Hindustan Times reports that the truce has ended in Kherson. Al Jazeera reports that Kherson is bracing for the return of war, with no reported violations in the region during the six-day ceasefire, while Moscow and Kyiv continue strikes elsewhere. The South China Morning Post reports that the end of the truce coincided with a cyberattack on Russia's emergency warnings app, which Moscow's emergencies ministry said posted false information, hours after Ukraine said its air raid alert system had been compromised.
