Russian attacks in eastern Ukraine have led to a death toll of at least 27 people, marking one of the worst rounds of strikes this year. The attacks occurred just before Ukraine's proposed open-ended ceasefire was set to begin. In Zaporizhzhia, aerial bombs and drones killed 12, while strikes in Kramatorsk and Dnipro resulted in additional casualties. Russia announced a ceasefire for May 8-9, but Ukraine urged reciprocity. A Ukrainian drone attack in Crimea also resulted in civilian deaths, highlighting ongoing hostilities.
