March 19 (Reuters) - Russia and Ukraine accused each

other early on Wednesday of launching air attacks that sparked

fires and damaged infrastructure just hours after President

Vladimir Putin agreed to a limited ceasefire in Russia's war in

Ukraine.

Putin

agreed

to temporarily stop attacking Ukrainian energy facilities

but declined to endorse a full 30-day ceasefire, coming well

short of what U.S. President Donald Trump sought as the first

step toward a permanent peace deal.

Zelenskiy, who had agreed to the full 30-day ceasefire,

said after the Putin-Trump call that he would support the

limited ceasefire, but

urged the world

to block any attempts by Moscow to drag out the war.

Hours later both sides reported attacks.

"Russia is attacking civilian infrastructure and people

- right now," Andriy Yermak, Zelenskiy's chief of staff, said

overnight on Telegram.

Regional authorities in Sumy in northeast Ukraine said

that Russia's drone attacks damaged two hospitals there, causing

no injuries but forcing the evacuation of patients and hospital

staff.

A 60-year-old man was injured and several houses damaged

in Russian drone attack on the Kyiv region that surrounds the

Ukrainian capital, Mykola Kalashnyk, governor of the region,

said early on Wednesday.

Zelenskiy said that Russia launched more than 40 drones

against Ukraine in the hours following the call between Trump

and Putin.

Authorities in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar

said early on Wednesday that a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a

small fire at an oil depot located near the village of

Kavkazskaya.

No one was injured in the fire, which spread across 20

square metres (215 square feet), but 30 employees were

evacuated, the administration of the southern Russian region

said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

"The work at the facility has been suspended," the

administration said.

The Russian SHOT news Telegram posted a video of blazes

at night at what seemed like an industrial area.

SHOT said the Kavkazskaya oil transshipment point is an

important facility designed to transport Russian oil for exports

railway and into the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) pipeline

system.

Reuters could not independently verify the SHOT report.

Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia said that it was

suspending flights from airports Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod and

Nizhnekamsk, Russia, all hundreds kilometres east of Moscow, to

"ensure air safety".

The agency did not say what was the reason for the

suspension, but it usually suspends flights when there are

reports of drone attacks.
