Administration office of Gorlovka diocese of UOC shelled again
At about 1:30 am, June 11, the main office of Gorlovka eparchy of the UOC suffered from the shelling, reports the site of Gorlovka and Slavyansk diocese of the UOC.
A guard of the diocesan office stayed alive – a fragment of a shell went across the security room just over his head. Nobody was injured, except the dog watching the premises.
The shell exploded near the transformer station. Pieces of it damaged walls of the station, a fence around it and a guard’s car. The windows of the guard room were shattered with a blast wave.
It is to be recalled this is the first shelling of Gorlovka center since August 2015. Earlier Gorlovka diocesan administration office suffered from shelling twice – on July 28, 2014 and on August 25, 2015.
