The overnight bombardment took place as dozens of Orthodox Christians were leaving the cathedral following an Easter vigil. | A woman was killed and six other people injured after missiles struck near an Orthodox cathedral. Ukrainian forces targeted central Donetsk with a barrage of rockets in the early hours of Sunday, with several landing near the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral, forcing an evacuation and disrupting Orthodox Easter celebrations. ● As many as 20 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) projectiles were fired at around 3:25am from the vicinity of the Ukraine-held settlement of Ochertenino, some 30km northwest of Donetsk, according to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JCCC) monitoring group. Within a few hours of the initial attack, a total of 12 155mm artillery shells hit the city in multiple volleys, while authorities were dealing with the aftermath and tending to the injured. “The enemy deliberately attacked the area of the central cathedral on Easter night,” the acting head of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin, claimed in a Telegram post. “Scum and savages! Our combat crews are already working to neutralize the bastards.” Multiple civilian facilities in the area of the central square were hit, including a bus station, a pharmacy, several stores, and a market some 200 meters from the cathedral. A kindergarten caught fire as a result of a near-direct strike, according to another video.
