Revision History

Russian missile and drone strikes killed at least 27 people across Ukraine on May 5, 2026, hitting gas facilities, residential buildings, and cities including Zaporizhzhia, Kramatorsk, and Dnipro in the days before competing ceasefire declarations by Moscow and Kyiv. When Ukraine's self-declared ceasefire took effect at midnight on May 6, Russia violated it within minutes, launching over 100 drones and three ballistic missiles overnight, reinforcing a documented pattern of ceasefire violations stretching back to 2014.
