Emergency workers were seen on Tuesday (January 3) clearing the rubble of a building in Makiivka in the Russian-controlled Donetsk region of Ukraine after it was shelled on Sunday (January 1), killing at least 63 Russian soldiers.
The missile strike on the vocational college building – which Russia has blamed on Ukrainian forces – is one of the bloodiest incidents of Russia’s nearly year-long “special military operation” in Ukraine.
The building was reportedly serving as a temporary barracks for mobilised Russian troops.
Daniil Bezsonov, a senior Russian-backed regional official, said the college had been hit by U.S.-made HIMARS rockets around midnight, just as people would have been celebrating the start of the New Year against the backdrop of a televised speech by President Vladimir Putin
