Commenting on doubts that have appeared in a number of media outlets about the number of casualties from a Ukrainian drone attack on a cafe in the Kherson region on New Year's Eve, Maria Zakharova stated that "if there are doubts, it is only about the integrity of those who doubt."
"I'd say, 'Don't you have any conscience?' but I won't – I know you don't. And the West hasn't abandoned the tactic of 'strategic silence,' where you can go years without seeing Bankova's terrorist attacks," Zakharova concluded.
The death toll has risen from 24 to 27, including two minors, according to the Russian Investigative Committee. Around 50 others were injured. The day after the attack, 14 people remained hospitalized, including 5 children.
