A Ukrainian missile attack has killed dozens of Russian conscripts in Makiivka.

Ukraine confirmed it carried out the strike in the occupied region of Donetsk, which it earlier claimed killed 400 Russian troops.

Russia's defence ministry has so far conceded that 89 people were killed in the attack.

It is the highest number of deaths acknowledged by Russia since it invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

However, there is no way of verifying how many soldiers were killed.
