| Ukraine

On May 10, 2026, the second day of the US-brokered three-day ceasefire (May 9–11), Russian forces continued large-scale attacks across Ukraine, demonstrating that the agreement had not produced any meaningful reduction in hostilities. Ukraine's Air Force reported intercepting all 27 drones launched by Russia overnight from Primorsko-Akhtarsk (Krasnodar Krai) and Millerovo (Rostov Oblast). Despite the successful air defense performance against the drone barrage, Russian artillery and FPV drone attacks on the front continued throughout the day. In the Zaporizhzhia region — the hardest-hit area — Russian forces conducted 780 separate strikes on 33 settlements over 24 hours, killing 1 person and wounding 3. Kharkiv city's Industrial district took a direct drone hit on a residential building; five people including two 8-year-old boys suffered shock. Across Kharkiv Oblast, 8 people total were wounded including 2 children. In Kherson Oblast, 7 people were wounded including one child. Dnipropetrovsk Oblast reported a 3-year-old girl moderately injured by drone debris. In Donetsk Oblast, 4 people were wounded across 18 attacks. Sumy Oblast documented 50+ attacks on 18 settlements. Chernihiv Oblast sustained 33 strikes. Ukraine's General Staff recorded 147 combat clashes on the front line over the 24-hour period — a marginally reduced rate compared to peak days but far exceeding what any genuine ceasefire would allow. Russia's MoD countered by claiming Ukraine had committed over 1,000 ceasefire violations, citing Ukrainian drone and artillery activities. Both sides accused each other of breaking the agreement while each claimed to be exercising defensive rights.
