Moscow said the alleged attack in Kramatorsk was revenge for the reportedly huge death toll in a Ukrainian attack on New Year's Eve.
"I heard the explosions last night when this target was also hit. Large crater in front of the school. No direct hit. Military contacts visited the place in the morning and according to them the school was empty."
Reuters pictures from the scene in Kramatorsk show a large crater in front of a building that has no windows and shattered shop fronts. The Russian Defence Ministry says the alleged strike was revenge for a deadly Ukrainian attack on a building in Makiivka on New Year's Eve.
