Russia acknowledged that dozens of its troops were killed in one of the Ukraine war's deadliest strikes, angering Russian nationalists and drawing demands for commanders to be punished for housing soldiers alongside an ammunition dump

In a rare disclosure, Russia's defence ministry said 63 soldiers had died on New Year's Eve in the fiery blast which destroyed a temporary barracks in a former vocational college in Makiivka, twin city of the Russian-occupied regional capital of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.fired from U.S.-made HIMARS launchers hit the site, the defence ministry said. It said two rockets had been shot down.

Ukraine almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine andBut the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces on Monday reported the Makiivka attack as "a strike on Russian manpower and military equipment". It did not mention casualties, but said 10 pieces of military equipment were destroyed.

Ukrainian officials said their success proved that Russia's tactic in recent months of raining down missiles and drones to knock out Ukraine's energy infrastructure was increasingly failing as Kyiv beefs up its air defences more than 10 months since Russian forces invaded.Unverified footage posted online of the aftermath of the blast at the Russian barracks in Makiivka showed a huge building reduced to smoking rubble.
