A service was being held in the church at the time of the shelling of Russia. A video broadcast from the temple was published online, which showed the fall of the dome fragments to the place where the priest stood a few seconds ago. This was reported by the Information and Educational Department of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate.
During the “arrival”, the cleric of the Sretensky Church, Archpriest Alexander Bilonog, performed incense for the temple. The debris fell a meter away from the clergyman.
The rector of the damaged church is the chaplain, Archpriest Ilya Manita, who in the summer, while delivering assistance to the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was seriously wounded on the front line. He came to his temple on crutches.
As a result of today’s night and morning attacks by Russians in Odessa, 21 residential buildings were damaged, including two private ones, all the rest were high-rise buildings, said the head of the Odessa OVA Oleg Kiper. According to preliminary estimates, about 70 apartments suffered varying degrees of destruction.
