AFP

Ukrainian officials reported on Sunday Russian drone strikes and nearly 150 battlefield clashes over the past 24 hours despite a US-brokered ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow.

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a three-day ceasefire from May 9 to May 11, as a broader peace effort to end the more than four-year-old war has stalled.

One person was killed and three people were wounded in Russian strikes on Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, governor Ivan Fedorov said on Sunday morning.

In the northeastern Kharkiv region, governor Oleh Syniehubov said eight people including two children were wounded in drone attacks on the regional capital and nearby settlements.

Seven people including a child were wounded in the southern Kherson region by Russian drone and artillery strikes since early Saturday, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Sunday.
