April 13, 2025 Palm Sunday church service. A neighboring Protestant Church service experiences the rockets destroying the Greek Catholic Church and other buildings in downtown Sumy, a short distance away on Sunday morning. The targeted rocket attacks are called a “double tap” where a second attack takes place after emergency responders have arrived. 30 people died in the attack.
Here is the news story by Sky News explaining what happened, and what the Russians claimed.
Our hearts and prayers go out to our Ukrainian brothers and sisters in Christ during this Easter Holy Week. Nobody believes these ballistic missile strikes near the Greek Catholic Church on Palm Sunday was a coincidence. There were no Ukrainian military casualties as they were not in the area. Only civilian.
