Reports state that five Israeli Air Force helicopters have landed at two different hospitals, carrying wounded Israeli soldiers from the clashes in Gaza City.

Unconfirmed reports of one Israeli soldier being killed by Hamas fighters in the ambush.

Israeli media is now reporting that an officer was killed and five other soldiers have been injured.

We will probably see a statement from the Al-Qassam Brigades in the coming hours.

Here's the footage of the Geran-2 drone strike on that carpark in Sumy last Monday which I geolocated. It turns out that it targeted trucks, likely loaded with supplies for the AFU.

An Israeli airstrike targeted the neighbourhood where the ambush and subsequent clashes took place. Artillery fire and quadcopter attacks are also reported in the same area.

Helicopters are also active in the area.

The Houthis announced shooting down another U.S. MQ-9 "Reaper" drone over Sana'a governorate, Yemen. If true, this is the second in 24 hours.

Putin has declared a 30-hour "Easter truce" in Ukraine. He stated that Russia will halt all combat operations from 18:00 on April 19 until midnight April 21. However, he emphasised that Russian forces will be ready to take defensive measures and repel any Ukrainian attacks.

This truce is expected to take hold in just over an hour.

12 minutes until the easter truce takes hold.

Glide-bombs just impacted Izyum district, Kharkiv Oblast, however Russian Su-34/35s are returning to their home air bases.

A Russian reconnaissance drone is hovering over the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv (very odd). Ukrainian air defence has made multiple attempts to shoot it down.

Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts are under an air raid alert due to Russian Su-34/35 activity over Donetsk Oblast.

Ukrainian tactical aircraft returned to their home bases.

Kyiv remains under an air raid alert due to the activity of a Russian reconnaissance drone which is circling between Brovary and Kyiv City.

Zelensky claims that this is a Geran-2 drone.

Reconnaissance and FPV drones are still being recorded over Kherson City 8 minutes before the truce.

The reconnaissance drone was shot down, but sirens are still sounding in Kyiv

Sirens are also still sounding in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, despite there being no threat from aviation anymore

The easter truce has now begun.

Well, it should.

The air raid alert was lifted in Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast, but remains Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Once again, there is no threat to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The Su-34/35s flew away from Donetsk Oblast.

4 minutes after the beginning of the truce, no regions of Ukraine are under an air raid alert.

Ukrainian channels claim that Russian MLRS is active along the frontlines in Sumy and Donetsk Oblast. Its possible that this is delayed information.

As a part of the so-called easter truce, a prisoner of war exchange has taken place, which was mediated by the United Arab Emirates. 246 Ukrainian servicemen were swapped for 246 Russian servicemen.

Additionally, 31 wounded Ukrainian POWs and 15 wounded Russian POWs have been exchanged in what the Russian Ministry of Defence calls a "gesture of goodwill".

No MLRS can be heard from Sumy, which probably means that unless the launches are in an unusual place to the south or north, the information was fake.
