The Russian Defense Ministry has now admitted at least 89 Russian soldiers were killed in their barracks on New Year’s Day in a Ukrainian missile strike on the Russian-occupied city of Makiivka. Russian authorities believe Ukraine was able to determine the exact location of the troops by picking up signals from personal cellphones, which were being used by Russian troops without authorization. Ukraine has claimed as many as 400 Russian soldiers were killed in the attack in Makiivka. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials are also claiming to have killed or injured hundreds of Russian troops in a separate attack in occupied Kherson on New Year’s Eve.
