The ceasefire was described as the longest pause in fighting during the Ukraine war and enabled a humanitarian mission in Oleshky. Its expiration raises the risk of renewed attacks in southern Kherson, where Ukraine said it evacuated 167 people from areas considered vulnerable. The wider conflict remains active, with Ukraine reporting strikes on Russian military and energy-related facilities and authorities warning that a hacked air-raid alert application had issued false nuclear warnings.
