Russia launched an attack on the city of Kamianske in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast early on September 5, resulting in four fatalities and five injuries, according to regional Governor Oleksandr Hanzha. This offensive action followed Ukraine's directive for troops to observe a temporary ceasefire, a measure intended to support peace talks initiated by U.S. envoys traveling to Kyiv and Moscow. President Volodymyr Zelensky had also announced Ukraine's intention to refrain from attacking Russian targets during the negotiations. The attack on Kamianske struck an industrial facility, with three of the injured requiring hospitalization, including one woman in intensive care. Earlier in the night, Ukraine's Air Force had issued warnings of Russian ballistic missiles heading towards Kamianske. While Ukraine reportedly held back from targeting Russian refineries and logistics hubs, air raid sirens were active across Ukraine. In Kyiv and its surrounding region, attacks impacted a residential building, causing injuries to at least two individuals.
