Fighting resumed in Ukraine’s Kherson region on Monday after a six-day localized ceasefire, the longest such pause since Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion, BBC reported1.
Al Jazeera said the truce, limited to Oleshky and surrounding areas, ended Sunday night with no violations reported by either side during the pause2.
Kherson authorities told BBC that strikes had resumed, including a hit on a medical facility in Kherson city, and that a 62-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man were injured when a drone struck a car1.
The ceasefire had allowed evacuations from Russian-occupied Oleshky. Al Jazeera said Ukraine’s military reported 167 more civilians evacuated Sunday, including 22 children2. BBC said hundreds had already left1.
Ukraine’s General Staff said Russian forces used the pause to rotate units, expand anti-drone equipment and deliver ammunition1. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was reasonable to assume Ukraine also regrouped, BBC reported1.
Al Jazeera said the pause was reached after mediation involving U.S. first lady Melania Trump and Pope Leo XIV2. Peskov said Oleshky was an isolated case and that there were no similar plans, BBC reported1.
Both sides continued strikes elsewhere during the local pause, Al Jazeera reported2.
