It looks very nasty. But there never was a ceasefire. There was a temporary de-escalation. Now it is escalating again.
If the fighting continues in this way further civilian casualties and another panicked round of 'ceasefire' talks will follow.
But neither side believed in this; too few monitors+lack strong mandate; no trust between major powers involved here. A mess
