## Key points

- A six-day Kherson truce ended and fighting resumed.
- Hundreds of Oleshky residents were evacuated during the pause.
- Moscow ruled out similar ceasefires elsewhere.

## Summary

Fighting resumed in Ukraine’s Kherson region after a six-day ceasefire, the longest pause since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022. The truce allowed hundreds of people trapped in Russian-occupied Oleshky and nearby areas to be evacuated, but its end underlined how limited the pause was: Russia continued air strikes elsewhere in Ukraine.

Local authorities said Russian strikes hit a medical facility in central Kherson, while a drone attack injured a 62-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man. Ukraine said Russian forces used the pause to reinforce positions and deliver ammunition; the Kremlin said it was reasonable to assume Ukraine also regrouped. Brokered with reported involvement from Melania Trump, the truce was overseen by Ukrainian and Russian human rights officials, but Moscow called it an isolated case and ruled out similar plans.
