Ukraine and Russia Both Report Fake Nuclear Warnings After Local Ceasefire Ends

Fact-check index: 78/100 — Most claims are directly supported by the cited outlets' headlines/ledes, but the assertion that Moscow has named no culprit and the framing that no forensic evidence exists go beyond what the source snippets establish.

• Localized truce around Oleshky expired Monday — Matches DW ('after Oleshky truce ends') and France24 ('fragile ceasefire...ends').

• Kyiv blames Russia directly, per Al Jazeera — Matches Al Jazeera headline: 'Ukraine blames Russia after air alert app sends out false warnings.'
• Moscow has named no culprit — No supplied source snippet confirms or denies whether Moscow named a culprit; this is an unsupported inference.
• Neither government has shown forensic evidence; claims are dueling and unverified — Plausible editorial framing consistent with headlines using 'says'/'reports,' but no source explicitly states lack of forensic evidence.
