, expressed public outrage at the attack, placing blame on Moscow for grouping so many soldiers in one place. Both sides say the strike took place in Makiivka, a suburb east of Donetsk, a major Ukrainian city that has been under Russian control since 2014, but the details of what exactly happened are murky. Western journalists are unable to enter the area, and therefore depend on both Russian and Ukrainian sources for information.The attack potentially sets a record for Russian casualties in a single attack in the war so far.
Local social media channels in the Donetsk region reported massive explosions precisely at midnight on New Year's Day. By Sunday afternoon, videos of the destruction surfaced, including one that appeared to show dead bodies and a pile of rubble where a vocational school once stood. Internet sleuths soon geolocated and verified the videos.This building was reportedly targeted by Ukrainian HIMARS yesterday.
