Ukraine and Russia have resumed drone strikes following the Orthodox Easter truce, which both nations claim was violated. Ukraine reported that Russia launched 98 drones, 87 of which were intercepted, with an infrastructure facility in the Dnipropetrovsk region being hit. Russia stated its air defense forces intercepted and destroyed 33 Ukrainian aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles on April 13. The ceasefire, agreed upon last week, was intended to last from Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening. Despite the agreement, both sides reported numerous violations, with Ukraine citing over 10,000 breaches by Russia, primarily front-line skirmishes. However, Ukraine noted no missile, air, or attack drone strikes during the ceasefire period. Russia's defense ministry accused Kyiv of nearly 2,000 truce breaches.
