Updated: Bomb blast in Ukrainian church kills one, wounds nine

Yesterday at 20:00 | Associated Press

An Emergencies Ministry official in Ukraine says a bomb blast at a southern Orthodox church has wounded nine people and one dead – an 80 year old nun Lyudmyla.

The woman died on the operation table, according to Zaporizhya mass media.

Yulia Barysheva told The Associated Press Wednesday that a homemade explosive device detonated near the entrance to the church, in the southern city of Zaporozhye.

The blast comes on the day the former Soviet nation marks the anniversary of its conversion to Christianity in 988 AD.

Nationalist groups have protested the visit of Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kiril, who is on the second to last day of an eight-day visit. There was no official word of a motive.

  1. So it continues.

    If Muslims don’t take credit for this, I would be surprised, since it follows on the day when Russia marked the anniversary of conversion to Christianity.
