Ministry of Defense: There are already 89 people killed in Makeyevka. They were ruined by mobile communications
The number of Russian military deaths as a result of a Ukrainian missile attack on the location in Makeyevka in the Donbass has increased to 89 people, First Deputy Chief of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Sergei Sevryukov, said at a briefing.
“Unfortunately, during the removal of the rubble of reinforced concrete structures, the number of our comrades who died increased to 89. Among the dead was the deputy regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Bachurin,” he said.
According to the general, "It is already obvious that the main reason for what happened was the activation and massive use, contrary to the ban, of mobile phones by personnel within the reach of enemy weapons».
“This factor allowed the enemy to take bearings and determine the coordinates of the location of military personnel for launching a missile strike.
The necessary measures are currently being taken to prevent similar tragic incidents in the future. Based on the results of the investigation, the guilty officials will be held accountable,” Sevryukov said.
