As the three-day truce brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump expired, Russia resumed drone strikes on Ukraine, targeting the capital Kyiv and the Dnipropetrovsk region. Ukrainian authorities reported one death and multiple injuries due to the strikes. The head of Kyiv's military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, issued safety alerts as drones were detected over the capital, marking the first confirmed drone activity since the ceasefire began.
