Russia Strikes Kyiv’s Sacred Lavra

Russia unleashed a devastating barrage across Ukraine, targeting civilian zones and a sacred religious site in Kyiv and Kharkiv. In Kharkiv, five rescuers died and several more were injured as they battled fires from a prior strike. Kyiv endured multiple explosions, including ballistic missiles and drones, leaving at least 20 people—including a child—hospitalized after apartment buildings, markets, and a nine-story residential tower were hit. Authorities accused Russia of deliberately attacking residential areas. The historic Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage site and centuries-old pilgrimage center, suffered a catastrophic fire at its Dormition Cathedral. The Orthodox Church of Ukraine condemned the attack as a crime against humanity and called for prayers to protect the sacred complex. Emergency crews continue responding as the full scope of destruction unfolds. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
