Two churches shelled in Luhansk region

Two Orthodox churches were recently shelled in the Luhansk region: one in Luhansk and another in the village Novosvitlivka.

On August 20 terrorists attacked the Holy Protection Church in the village Novosvitlivka (Luhansk region).

"In the church at that time civilians were hiding from shelling. Soldiers of the battalion Aidar, which controls the town, had to retreat from their positions so that the terrorists ceased shelling the church," said Aidar sources.

Also the refectory of the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God “Of Tender Feeling” caught on fire. Nobody was injured.
