Three people, including a child, were wounded when a Ukrainian drone struck a fuel station in Russia’s Kursk region during what was supposed to be a holiday ceasefire, according to regional officials.
Regional Governor Alexander Khinshtein reported through the state-supported messaging platform MAX that the drone targeted a gas station in Lgov after 4 p.m. Saturday (1300 GMT), violating an Orthodox Easter truce both countries had agreed to observe.
Ukraine and Russia are both marking Orthodox Easter this weekend and had established a 32-hour pause in hostilities to honor the religious holiday. Russian officials announced the temporary ceasefire would run from 4 p.m. Saturday through midnight Sunday.
