Ukraine Strikes Russian Forces in Donbas in Deadliest Attack in Months – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

KYIV, Ukraine A Ukrainian strike killed dozens of newly mobilized soldiers in Russian-held territory in the east of the country in the single-deadliest known strike in months, piling pressure on Moscow s military leadership, while Ukraine said it shot down at least 39 drones during another wave of attacks on Kyiv.

Russia s Defense Ministry said Monday that Ukrainian forces used a U.S.-supplied Himars rocket system to destroy a facility used as a base for mobilized troops in the city of Makiivka, in the Donbas area of eastern Ukraine. In a statement carried by Russian state news agencies, the ministry said 63 troops had died in the blast after four Himars rockets carrying high-explosive warheads struck the facility.
