MOSCOW: The death toll from a Ukrainian New Year strike on a Russian-held town jumped to nearly 90, Moscow said on Wednesday, after Russians gathered to mourn the troops in a rare public display of anger and grief.

Russia said in the early hours of Wednesday that more bodies had been found under the rubble in the town of Makiivka in the Moscow-controlled eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine.
