Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Russia suffered its worst military losses since the war in Ukraine in an attack on 1 January.<\/p>\n

Russian officials said that 89 servicemen were killed in Makiivka in eastern Ukraine while Ukraine claimed to have killed nearly 400 Russian soldiers in the attack.<\/p>\n

On Monday Russia\u2019s defence ministry acknowledged that 63 Russian soldiers had been killed in a strike in Makiivka.<\/p>\n

Makiivka is a small city in Ukraine\u2019s eastern Donetsk region, which has been under the control of pro-Russian separatists since 2014.<\/p>\n

A senior Russian military official, Lt Gen Sergei Sevryukov, said Ukraine had hit a temporary base in Makiivka at 12:01 am local time on 1 January, using a US-supplied Himars rocket system.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the ministry revised the death toll upwards to 89 after more bodies were discovered.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian army\u2019s strategic communications department said that nearly 400 soldiers were killed and 300 injured in the strike in Makiivka.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s defence ministry has blamed the unauthorised use of mobile phones by its soldiers for the deadly Ukrainian missile attack.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued just after 1 AM (22:00 GMT Tuesday) on Wednesday, the Russian defence ministry said:<\/p>\n

This factor allowed the enemy to track and determine the coordinates of the soldiers\u2019 location for a missile strike.<\/p>\n

The announcement of the large number of losses caused shock in Russia, with some prominent bloggers criticising the \u201cincompetence\u201d of the Russian high command.<\/p>\n
