Russia and Ukraine Exchange Blame for Civilian Attacks on New Year's Day
Russian officials accused Ukraine of conducting a deadly drone strike on a hotel and cafe in occupied Khorly, Kherson Oblast, killing at least 28 people, which Ukraine denies, claiming it targeted military sites. The strike killed Russian occupation officials and has been used by Russia to justify intensified attacks against Ukrainian infrastructure. Ukraine has warned of potential false flag operations by Russia to disrupt peace negotiations. The conflict continues with ongoing Russian advances and Ukrainian counterstrikes across various fronts, alongside increased Russian missile and drone attacks targeting Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
