Ukraine is pushing back against Russia’s claims of a deadly New Year drone strike in the occupied Kherson region, saying its forces hit only military targets. Moscow accuses Kyiv of killing civilians at a hotel and café, while Ukraine calls the allegations disinformation. The disputed strike has intensified tensions in the nearly four-year war, as both sides trade blame and release conflicting accounts. The incident comes amid renewed diplomatic pressure and fragile peace efforts, with territory still the most contested issue.
