Ukraine's Airforce Responds to Fresh Russian Bombings

Ukraine's air force reports Russian aircraft launched guided bombs twice in two hours on Sumy, contradicting a Kremlin ceasefire. Reuters could not verify the report.

Amid ongoing tensions, Ukraine's air force reported via Telegram that Russian aircraft had launched guided bombs on the Sumy region for the second time in just two hours early on Thursday morning.

This alleged strike has drawn particular attention as it reportedly took place after midnight local time, coinciding with the start of a Kremlin-announced three-day ceasefire. If confirmed, this would represent a direct violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Reuters has been unable to independently verify whether the bombs were actually launched at the times reported. This development highlights the continued volatility in the region despite attempts at de-escalation.
