Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. The ceasefire between the US And Iran could be at risk after Iran once again closed the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday. Earlier in the day, Iranian forces fired on at least two ships trying to move through the waterway. In Lebanon. Meanwhile, a French soldier was killed and three others wounded in an attack on UN Peacekeepers in the southern part of that country. So far, though, the fragile ceasefire there remains in place. NPR's Kat Lansdorf is in Beirut.

These two ceasefires are very much intertwined. If one falls apart, it's very likely that the other will fall apart as well. Here in Lebanon, it definitely feels less tense and people are resuming some activities. You know, my Uber driver last night, for example, told me it was his first day back driving since the war began because he didn't feel safe being on the streets before with potential Israeli strikes. But also, people here recognize this is a temporary ceasefire and they're skeptical that it will lead to lasting peace.

That's NPR's Kat Lansdorf in Beirut with our reports. In Ukraine, a gunman went on a shooting spree Saturday, killing six people in the capital of Kyiv. At least a dozen other people were wounded before the gunman was shot, shot dead by police. Authorities are treating the shooting as a terrorist act and their Investigation continues.

Prosecutors said the attacker, a 58 year old Russian from Moscow, opened fire in the streets of Holosivsky, a southern suburb of Kyiv. Footage on social media shows a man running in the streets, shooting at people seemingly at random with a long rifle. Authorities say he then entered a nearby supermarket where he took hostages and continued to shoot. Police opened fire shortly afterwards, killing the man. Kyiv's Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said there'd also been a separate fire in the suspect's apartment. Ukraine's capital is no stranger to violence, but this type of shooting attack is rare and has shocked many here.
