Russian Soldiers and Actress Killed in Ukrainian Attacks

Dozens of Russian marines were reportedly killed by a Ukrainian strike during an awards ceremony in Donetsk Oblast. The Ukrainian army's strategic communications unit confirmed the strike and stated that the casualty numbers were reported by Russian propagandists. The attack allegedly occurred while members of Russia's 810th Marine Brigade were attending the ceremony, which featured entertainment by Russian actress Polina Menshikh. The Ukrainian military claims that the strike was in retaliation for a previous missile attack on Ukraine's 128th Mountain Assault Brigade. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
