Russia Says Phone Use Allowed Ukraine To Target Troops

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – The Russian military says unauthorized use of cell phones by Russian soldiers led to a deadly Ukrainian rocket attack on the facility where they were stationed. It raised the death toll from the weekend attack to 89. Gen. Lt. Sergei Sevryukov said in a statement late Tuesday that phone signals allowed Kyiv’s forces to “determine the coordinates of the location of military personnel” and launch a strike. The weekend attack was one of the deadliest on the Kremlin’s forces since the start of the war over 10 months ago. It marked yet another setback for the Kremlin’s bogged-down war effort in Ukraine that has been undermined by a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive.
