Ukraine says Russia launched bombs during Kremlin-sponsored ceasefire

KYIV (Reuters) – Ukraine’s air force said in a post on its Telegram social media account that Russian aircraft had launched guided bombs on the Sumy region of northern Ukraine in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Reuters could not independently verify the bombs had been launched. The air force said the bombs were launched nearly three hours after a three-day ceasefire declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin came into force.
