Officials at a vocational college in an eastern Ukrainian city have dismissed claims by Russia that hundreds of Ukraine’s troops were killed in a missile strike there.

Russian officials had specifically named the college in Kramatorsk as the target of an attack, but college chiefs said that a rocket merely blew out windows and damaged classrooms.
