Following the devastation of buildings in Kharkiv, which was bombarded by Russian soldiers throughout the night, fire engines began evacuating civilians from the destroyed buildings. The crews used ladders to take civilians from the buildings, but they were targeted again during the evacuation. Ukraine’s Emergencies Service aided citizens whose homes had been bombed and advised them to seek refuge in shelters in the event of a retaliation.
Gazans Celebrate Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas
Palestinians celebrated the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas after indirect talks in Egypt, marking the first step of a broader peace plan involving hostage exchanges and Israeli troop withdrawals. Crowds, including children displaced by Israeli attacks, gathered around Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital to celebrate the end of the fighting. Residents in Maghazi Refugee Camp expressed hopes for rebuilding Gaza and establishing a Palestinian state. “Thank God, the war is over. Our homes were destroyed, and our children killed. We thank everyone who helped end this war,” said Yasser Abu Hein. Others shared optimism that Gaza would “return better than before.”
Israel confirmed that the ceasefire would begin following a cabinet vote later in the day.
