In the hours leading up to the US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire, Israel and Iran continued to attack one another. Prior to Israel’s scheduled end of its attacks, Iran fired missiles until Tuesday morning, hours before the deadline.
Russia and Ukraine have swapped further drone attacks, with at least 10 people reportedly killed in Moscow’s attacks.
Strikes were reported overnight on Tuesday in several areas of Ukraine, killing three people, as well as in Moscow. Later in the day, a Russian attack killed at least seven people in the city of Dnipro.
The attacks are the latest in a series of intensifying hostilities as the efforts of the United States to broker a ceasefire have stalled, with Russia appearing eager to take advantage while the war between Israel and Iran dominates global attention.
A Russian attack on a village in Sumy killed an eight-year-old boy and two adults and injured three others, the military administration of the region said.
Drone strikes also wounded five people in Kharkiv and four others in the Dnipropetrovsk region, local authorities said.
The attacks came a day after a “massive” missile and drone strike on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, killed at least 10 people.
“The strike took the lives of people from different families,” the military administration said on Telegram regarding the Sumy attack. “They all lived on the same street. They went to sleep in their homes. But Russian drones interrupted their sleep – forever.”
At least seven people were killed later on Tuesday as a Russian missile struck Dnipro.
“Around 70 people were wounded, including 10 children,” Governor Sergiy Lysak announced on social media.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha said the strikes on Dnipro were “a rejection of peace”.
“While leaders gather in The Hague for the NATO summit, Russia sends a message of terror and rejection of peace,” Sybiha said on social media.
He called on Kyiv’s allies to “step up pressure on Moscow” as the military alliance gathered for a summit at which members are expected to agree to boost military spending.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to meet US President Donald Trump to discuss support for Kyiv and the bid to secure a ceasefire.
The Kremlin, meanwhile, accused NATO of demonising Russia to justify militarisation.
Ukraine has also stepped up its drone attacks on a wide range of targets in Russia in recent months.
Russia said a Ukrainian drone had targeted a residential building in Moscow overnight, wounding two people, including a pregnant woman, and triggering a fire.
Andrei Vorobyov, the governor of the Moscow region, said the drone started a fire on the 17th floor of the building in the town of Krasnogorsk, west of the capital.
“About 100 people were evacuated from the building, including 30 children,” Vorobyov said, adding that the injured were receiving treatment at a hospital.
Russia’s air defence units destroyed 20 Ukrainian drones overnight, including two over the Moscow region, local news agencies reported, citing Russian Ministry of Defence data.
Russia currently occupies about a fifth of Ukraine and claims to have annexed four Ukrainian regions as its own since launching its invasion in 2022, in addition to Crimea, which it captured in 2014.
Trump had promised to swiftly end the war while on his campaign trail last year, but his diplomatic attempts have not resulted in a ceasefire so far.
While Washington succeeded in bringing the two sides together for direct talks last month, little progress was made, and no meetings have taken place in the last three weeks.
Following 12 days of intense airstrikes, including a “last-minute” barrage fired by Tehran, Iran and Israel are said to have reached a ceasefire.
Israelis have accepted the truce proposal announced by US President Donald Trump overnight, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement released on Tuesday morning. The ceasefire had already begun, according to an earlier Iranian state television report.
Trump had stated in a social media post that the ceasefire was in progress a short while before the Israeli statement.
The ceasefire has already been in effect. Do not break it, please! he stated.
The agreement gives rise to hopes for a de-escalation of the conflict, which has recently risen dramatically as Iran’s nuclear facilities were bombed and Iran attacked a US base in Qatar, despite Netanyahu’s threat that Israel would immediately retaliate violently against any ceasefire violation.
Israel has accepted President Trump’s request for a bilateral ceasefire, he said, “in light of the achievement of the objectives of the operation and in full coordination with him.”
Early on Tuesday, there appeared to be a fragile peace, with reports of hostilities ending following six rounds of Iranian missile launches.
Abbas Araghchi, the country’s foreign minister, suggested Trump had set a time of 07.30 GMT deadline prior to the strikes.
He wrote on social media that “the powerful Armed Forces’ military operations to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the very last second.”
Emergency personnel and the Israeli military reported that there were several fatalities in the attacks. Israelis were given the option to leave missile shelters shortly after, and no further launches have been reported.
Tohid Asadi, a reporter from Tehran, claimed that Israeli strikes on the capital had stopped, calling the calm “promising about the prospect of the ceasefire.”
He noted that the situation is still fragile, and that Iran and Israel have both pledged to intervene if attacks against it resume.
Israel’s opposition demanded that Netanyahu negotiate a truce to end the 20-month conflict with Hamas in Gaza following his announcement that his government had agreed to the ceasefire.
“And now Gaza,” It’s also time to finish it there. Yair Lapid, the leader of the opposition, wrote on social media that “bring back the hostages, end the war.”
However, Iran’s continued danger was echoed by hardliners who criticized the agreement.
The “regime in Iran is a regime that must be defeated,” wrote Likud party member Dan Illouz.
Iran will find new ways to fight Israel, he said, “if not defeated.”
Iran was attacked by Israel on June 13 because it was close to developing nuclear weapons. Prior to the US strikes on Saturday, Trump made a similar claim.
The Iranian nuclear facilities were requested by the UN nuclear watchdog IAEA on Monday to confirm the country’s enriched uranium’s location and state.
Before the US attacks on the Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz facilities, there has been rumors that Iran may have moved its stock of the nuclear material.
Tehran’s nuclear industry is undergoing damage, according to Mohammad Eslami, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, on Tuesday, according to a report from Reuters.

After a shock defeat to Porto, Tadeo Allende and Luis Suarez scored to put Miami on the verge of a second title.
However, Paulinho and Mauricio helped Palmeiras get through in the final ten minutes of the game at Hard Rock Stadium.
Luis Enrique, who led them to the treble at Barcelona in 2015, will also face Suarez, Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Miami coach Javier Mascherano.
“We’re talking about the European champions.” After the game, Alba said, “We know many of their players and their coach, who I was fortunate to have coach me,” and I’ve always said, “I’ve said he is the best in the world.”
“I’ll connect with my good friends there, but once the game starts, we’ll compete, and why can’t we do it?” Football is what?
Major League Soccer (MLS) was elevated thanks to Miami’s advancement, according to Mascherano.
Because of our affiliation with the top 16 MLS teams in the world, it’s a historic night for the league. He claimed that Inter Miami should be a “piece of the MLS”.
After a heartfelt 4-4 draw, Portugal’s Porto and Egypt’s Al Ahly were beaten, but neither team was able to defeat Palmeiras or Miami.

Six points are won but lost at Atletico Madrid.Botafogo lost to Atletico Madrid 1-0 in Group B, but the Spaniards, who were 4-0 down by PSG in their opening game, needed a significant win in their final game, made up.
In the 87th minute, former France international Antoine Griezmann lashed home a Julian Alvarez cross to give Atletico a victory that was ultimately in vain.
We regret not being selected because we had six points, according to Atletico coach Simeone.
“We were punished at the end of the day because it wasn’t enough.”
Atletico was upset that penalty appeals were turned down because they needed a two-goal swing.
Giuliano Simeone, the coach’s son, remarked, “I’ve never seen anything like it, to be honest, I think we should have received two penalties.”
PSG, the European champions, came out of the woods with a comfortable victory in Seattle after Botafogo’s surprise defeat.
Due to Botafogo’s late defeat at Atletico Madrid in Pasadena, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Achraf Hakimi scored either side of half-time to advance to the group stage.
The pitch was very different from what we are used to in Europe, so we couldn’t play with the fluidity we prefer, but we made adjustments,” according to PSG coach Enrique.
Ousmane Dembele, the top scorer for PSG, was injured and had to travel to the tournament to play no part in a third game.
Iran reportedly agreed to a ceasefire with Iran as the deadline for a strike approached.
Tehran launched its launches on Tuesday at 4 a.m. (7:30 a.m.) at the time when Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that Iran would stop its airstrikes if Israel stopped its airstrikes.
Israelis were evacuated from bomb shelters for almost two hours in the morning due to missile wave formations.
In the early morning barrages, several people were reported dead, but no further attacks were being planned.
At least eight more people were hurt, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue services.
Later, the Israeli military issued a warning to the public to stay close to shelter in the coming hours before allowing people to leave.
Soon after Iran launched a limited missile attack on a US military base in Qatar on Monday in retaliation for the US bombing of its nuclear sites, Trump announced that Israel and Iran had reached a “complete and total ceasefire.”
