KYIV: Kyiv came under drone attack on Tuesday after the expiration of a three-day truce with Russia, according to Ukrainian authorities. &quot;Enemy UAVs are currently over Kyiv. Please stay safe until the alert is cleared,&quot; the head of the capital&#39;s military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, posted on Telegram. The alert siren was the first confirmed in the capital since Friday, before the ceasefire came into force. Kyiv&#39;s regional military administration told residents to remain in shelters and said its air defenses could be operating in the area. A three-day truce was announced on Friday by US President Donald Trump, just hours before Russia&#39;s World War II victory celebrations, with Trump saying he hoped the ceasefire would mark &quot;the beginning of the end&quot; of the conflict. The two countries had traded accusations of attacks on civilians that violated the truce, which Trump had said would be in place May 9-11.
