Ukraine has not commented on attack on cafe and hotel that comes despite ‘productive’ ongoing peace talks

A Ukrainian drone strike killed 24 people and injured at least 50 more as they celebrated the New Year in a Russian-occupied village in Ukraine’s Kherson region, Russian officials said, as tensions between the two nations continue to spike despite diplomats hailing productive peace talks.

Three drones struck a cafe and hotel in the resort town of Khorly on the Black Sea coast, the region’s Moscow-installed leader, Vladimir Saldo, said in a statement on Telegram on Thursday. He said that one of the drones carried an incendiary mixture, sparking a blaze.
