UK's MoD: 'unprofessional practices contribute to Russia’s high casualty rate'

The UK’s ministry of defence has published its latest situation map of how it assess the war to be going on the ground, Qazet.az reports.

Earlier the UK issued its latest defence intelligence update. It said of the attack at Makiyivka:

The building was completely destroyed and, as the Russian MoD confirmed, 89 Russian personnel were killed. Given the extent of the damage, there is a realistic possibility that ammunition was being stored near to troop accommodation, which detonated during the strike creating secondary explosions. The building was only 12.5km from the Avdiivka sector of front line, one of the most intensely contested areas of the conflict. The Russian military has a record of unsafe ammunition storage from well before the current war, but this incident highlights how unprofessional practices contribute to Russia’s high casualty rate.
