Over 600 Ukrainian soldiers supposedly perished in a vengeful assault conducted by Russian forces, as Russian authorities report.
In the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry has made a claim about a missile strike on two structures housing Ukrainian servicemen in the town of Kramatorsk. According to the ministry, over 600 Ukrainian troops were killed in the strike.
However, the exact number of casualties from the strike is currently unverified. Reuters could not immediately verify the defense ministry's assertion, and there is no specific information in available sources confirming this claim.
The strike was reported to have occurred near the front line of the war, overnight. The ministry stated that the strike was in retaliation for a fatal Ukrainian assault on a Russian barracks in Makiivka earlier this year, where at least 89 servicemen were killed.
Interestingly, neither of the college dorms that Russia's defense ministry stated had been temporarily housing Ukrainian servicemen showed signs of being directly struck by missiles or seriously harmed. There were no apparent signs that soldiers had been living in the dorms, and no evidence of bodies or traces of blood.
The mayor of Kramatorsk, on Facebook, previously claimed that nobody had been killed in an assault on various buildings in the city. However, there was no immediate discussion or verification of Russia's claim from Ukraine.
It's worth noting that the Russian defense ministry claimed to have used reputable knowledge to target the Ukrainian troops. However, without direct confirmation from official sources, it is difficult to verify the accuracy of this specific incident.
For those seeking more detailed information or evidence about this event, it would be advisable to consult recent news articles or official statements from the Russian Defense Ministry.

- The politics surrounding the war-and-conflicts in Eastern Ukraine have raised questions about the accuracy of specific incidents, such as the Russian Defense Ministry's claim of a missile strike in Kramatorsk that allegedly killed over 600 Ukrainian troops, a claim yet to be verified in the general news.
