Russian and Ukrainian forces accused each other of mass violations of a 32-hour Orthodox Easter cease-fire, as deadly drone attacks hit eastern Ukraine and both sides resumed large-scale unmanned strikes immediately after the truce expired.
The cease-fire, agreed by Moscow and Kyiv last week, was in effect from 4 p.m. (1300 GMT) on Saturday until midnight (2100 GMT) Sunday.
As with a similar arrangement last year, only relative calm was reported along the roughly 1,200-kilometer (745-mile) front line and both governments later claimed the other had repeatedly breached the truce.
Ukrainian police said Monday that a Russian drone attack killed one person in Ukraine’s frontline eastern Donetsk region Sunday, before the official end of the cease-fire marking Orthodox Easter.
According to a police statement, an FPV (first-person-view) drone strike killed one person in the city of Druzhkivka on April 12 and damaged a car.
