Apparent aftermath of Donetsk region HIMARS strike

(3 Jan 2023) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Makiivka - 3 January 2023 1. Various of apparent site of HIMARS attack STORYLINE: Piles of rubble were seen at the apparent site of a strike at a facility in the eastern Donetsk region where Russian soldiers were stationed on Tuesday. In the attack, Ukrainian forces fired six rockets from a HIMARS launch system and two of them were shot down, a Russian Defense Ministry statement said. According to the Ministry, 63 Russian soldiers were killed in the rocket attack. Other, unconfirmed reports put the death toll much higher. However, the Strategic Communications Directorate of Ukraine’s Armed Forces claimed Sunday that around 400 mobilised Russian soldiers were killed in a vocational school building in Makiivka and about 300 more were wounded. That claim couldn’t be independently verified by The Associated Press. The Russian statement said the strike occurred “in the area of Makiivka” and didn’t mention the vocational school. Satellite photos analysed by The Associated Press show the apparent aftermath of the strike. An image from December 20 showed the building standing. Another from January 2 showed the building reduced to rubble. Other days had intense cloud cover, making seeing the site by standard satellite imagery impossible. Vigils for soldiers killed in the strike took place in two Russian cities Tuesday, the state RIA Novosti agency reported. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
