**First, [ Ukrainska Pravda](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/01/8/7383962/)**
No casualties have been reported- noted under image included with article
**Source: `Oleksandr Honcharenko, Mayor of Kramatorsk, on Facebook`**
**Quote from Honcharenko:** “***Aftermath of the night missile attack on Kramatorsk.***
***Two educational institutions, eight apartment buildings and garages have been damaged.”***
**Details:** `The mayor has said that there have been no casualties reported among the civilians.`
**No civilian casualties reported. No casualties among civilians**
[RT](https://www.rt.com/russia/569559-kramatorsk-retaliation-operation-makeyevka/)

##### More than 600 Ukrainian troops killed in ‘retaliation operation’ – Moscow
> **More than 600 of Kiev’s troops have been eliminated in a Russian missile strike in the Ukrainian-held city of Kramatorsk in the Donbass, Russia’s Defense Ministry has said.**
>
> The bombardment on Sunday was a “*retaliation operation*” carried out in response to “*a criminal attack*” by Ukraine on a temporary housing area accommodating Russian servicemen in the city of Makeyevka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) on New Year’s night, the ministry said in a statement.
>
> Over the past 24 hours, the Russian military has managed to uncover and confirm the location of Ukrainian troops in Kramatorsk in the DPR, the statement read. **This data revealed that dormitory No.28 in the city was hosting more than 700 Kiev soldiers, with 600 more staying in dormitory No.47.**
> ***“As a result of a massive missile attack on these temporary housing areas of the Ukrainian military’s units, more than 600 Ukrainian servicemen were killed,”* the ministry said.**
**So Ukraine Pravda is reporting zero civilian casualties but not mentioning military casualties. RT is reporting more than 600 military casualties.**
**If the report from RT is accurate it seems doubtful to me that Ukraine is going to acknowledge this massive loss.**
**Thoughts?**
