"Russia has accused Ukraine of killing at least 24 people, including a child, in a drone attack on a hotel and cafe where New Year celebrations were taking place in a Russian-controlled part of Ukraine's southern Kherson region. Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-installed governor of the region, first made the claim in a statement on Telegram before Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and senior politicians later accused Ukraine of carrying out a terrorist attack."
"Saldo also published photos of what he wrote was the aftermath of the attack, which Al Jazeera has not been able to verify. At least one person's body was visible in the images beneath a white sheet. The building showed signs that a fierce fire had raged, and there were what appeared to be bloodstains on the ground. In the statement, Saldo said three Ukrainian drones had struck the site of New Year celebrations in Khorly, a coastal village."
