Russia reported intercepting a drone attack on Moscow ahead of a major military parade on May 9, with Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirming no injuries or damage, though air traffic was briefly halted. President Putin called for a 72-hour ceasefire starting May 8, which Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy dismissed as insincere, asserting Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine, including a recent drone strike that injured 11 in Kyiv. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s forces reportedly launched counterattacks into Russia’s Kursk region, escalating tensions despite the proposed truce.
