Hundreds of victims, many still under the rubble. The building where they were housed also contained an ammunition cache and vehicle storage, which is why the strike was so deadly.

A Ukrainian Himars attack on a town in Russia-held eastern Ukraine flattened completely destroyed a vast building holding several hundred Russian mobilised men inside.
Early estimates from Kyiv and from pro-Russian sources suggest the New Year’s Eve attack on the barracks in Makiivka could be Russia’s single biggest loss of life since the start of the invasion last February.
The Ukrainian military on Monday mocked Russia over the attack on a former school building in Makiivka, a suburb of Donetsk, attributing it to “smoking in inappropriate places” and claiming that it killed “about 400” people.
A former Ukrainian separatist commander put the death toll at “hundreds” of killed and injured.
A video from the Ukrainian army’s communications department showed what was once a huge building turned into rubble, with just one two-storey wall left standing among the smouldering debris on the ground.

“’ukranian’ HIMARS”? Did they get them at a recent gun show nearby?
2023 is quickly shaping up to just be a 2022 rerun. Lots more dead people followed by spending billions to, wait for it, kill more people. Just lovely.
Hey, you stole my post...
A frighteningly incompetent booby army.
Six HIMARS fired with four said to have gotten through air defenses.
Right now Russia Today says more than 60 killed.
Ukraine claims hundreds killed.
We shall see what unfolds.
What I posted was stolen. LOL! Happy New Year! 🤣👍
I think 2023 will be far worse. I don’t know about total deaths in this war, but with respect to economic depression globally.
Maybe we’ll get a WWIII going.
This night after #Himars strike by #Ukraine's forces was destroyed school 19 at Makiivka, #Donetsk.
Locals said about 200- 500 dead mobilized Russians at school 19 the building is cordoned off, it is difficult to take a photo
"they were there for at least a month"

Ha, Happy New Year to you as well.
HIMARS shells themselves aren’t big enough to completely demolish a building of that size, they must have made something inside it go boom.
Also one usually doesn’t want to keep a bunch of troops next to stored munitions.

Oh please, obviously not the same site by looking at surrounding hard features.
Be better.
At least show an ambulance or 2 and ongoing excavation work to remove “hundreds of casualties”
The US proxy war with Russia is going swimmingly, and we will fight it to the last Ukrainian life.
There...fixed it.
“...Blood-thirsty freepers celebrating the fake deaths of a fake war...”
The only deaths I celebrate are the deaths of democrats. Puppet Biden and his GlobolHomo cabal are the ones who love watching the deaths of Russians and Ukrainians.
No, it is Russian sources—that is, Russians themselves— that claim hundreds killed. Some have already been posted in the thread.
Russia Today is a state operated news site and will never report what Russians on the ground say.
fake and gay
