In Kharkiv region, Merefa was hit by strikes on Sunday night, in which one person died, confirmed Oleh Sinehubov, head of Kharkiv region’s military administration.
The Russian army, on the other hand, announced that rockets fired at Kramatorsk had hit the barracks of Ukrainian soldiers, killing 600 people.
Igor Konashenkov, a press representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, said that the rocket attack was a response to the rocket attack on Makiivka, Donetsk region, Ukraine, last year, after which the Russian side confirmed the death of at least 89 soldiers.
Sergiy Cherevaty, spokesman for the Ukrainian Army’s Eastern Command, dismissed the Russian claims, saying “this information is as true as the fact that they destroyed all of our HIMARS systems.” He added that Russia lacks the capability to carry out strikes of such precision.
Kramatorsk AFP reporters reported at least four explosions shortly before midnight.
