Workers removed the debris of a destroyed building that was used to house Russian soldiers in Makiivka, in Russian-controlled Ukraine, on Tuesday. MOSCOW—Russia’s Ministry of Defense blamed the use of banned mobile phones for a deadly strike by Ukrainian forces on a facility that housed newly mobilized Russian soldiers, shifting responsibility for the incident to the victims and raising the death toll to 89, including the regiment’s deputy commander. The update of the death toll Wednesday came as Russian defense officials said a commission was investigating the circumstances of the strike that it said occurred at 12:01 a.m. on New Year’s Day, the deadliest known assault on Russian forces during the war.
Russia said that it shot down a Ukrainian drone near Engels airbase in Russia's Saratov region. Falling debris from the downed drone killed three Russian military personnel, authorities said. The drone, which was shot down near the Engels military airbase in Russia's Saratov region, hit and fatally wounded the staff members, a statement from the Defence Ministry, published by Russian news agencies, said. Although Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the drone, Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat told national television Monday that incidents like this are the "consequences of Russian aggression," ABC News reported. Ukraine has also not taken responsibility for other recent drone attacks on Russian airbases.
Russian air bases have faced deadly drone attacks thought to be carried out by Ukraine. The drones involved in attacks on two Russian bases on Monday were launched from Ukrainian territory, the New York Times reported, citing a senior Ukrainian. "Ukrainian forces likely sought to disrupt Russian strikes against Ukrainian critical infrastructure and demonstrate Ukraine's ability to target Russian strategic assets," ISW added. The attacks on Russian air bases seemingly mark a new chapter in the conflict. "Why didn't Russian air defenses track and identify the targets so deep inside the country?"
