Ukraine shells Donetsk during Easter service

At least one person reported killed after missiles fell near an Orthodox cathedral

The Ukrainian forces targeted central Donetks with multiple launch rocket system fire early on Sunday morning, with several projectiles reportedly landing in close vicinity of the Spaso Preobrazhensky Cathedral forcing an evacuation and disrupting the Orthodox Easter celebrations.

Twenty MLRS rockets were fired towards Donets overnight, according to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JCCC) monitoring group.

At least one person was killed and two others injured, according to preliminary reports. While none of missiles hit the cathedral directly, one projectile struck a market less than 100 meters away. Several other facilities in the area of the central square were also hit, a representative of the city’s administration told TASS.
