Russia’s defence ministry has confirmed 63 Russian soldiers have died after a Ukrainian airstrike on a complex in the Russian-controlled city of Makiivka in Ukraine. The New Year's Day attack killed recently mobilised Russian soldiers sent by Moscow, in what could be one of the deadliest known incidents involving Russian troops so far. Without claiming the strike, Ukraine’s military said up to 400 soldiers were killed in the city, which lies in the Donetsk region.
