Russia bombed Ukraine church on Orthodox Easter, says official

A Ukrainian official has said that the Russian military attacked a church in Ukraine on Sunday as many Ukrainians were celebrating the Orthodox Easter.

According to Newsweek, Serhii Lysak, the head of Ukraine’s Dnipro Oblast Military Administration, shared details about the attack in a Telegram post on Sunday morning.

He said it had taken place in Nikopol, southern Ukraine, and left two people injured – a 57-year-old man and 38-year-old woman.

The attack also damaged several residential and farm buildings.

Lysak said the attack showed that “there is nothing sacred” for Russian forces.
