Russian-installed authorities in occupied Kherson reported that a Ukrainian drone attack overnight struck a cafe and hotel in Khorly village, killing at least 24 and injuring over 50 people celebrating New Year. Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-installed head, stated one drone carried an incendiary device, causing a fire that hampered rescue efforts. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reported Russia launched over 200 drones targeting energy infrastructure across Ukraine overnight. Claims from both sides remain unverified.
