A major fire has erupted at Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a historic monastery complex and UNESCO World Heritage site, following large-scale Russian airstrikes on the Ukrainian capital. At least ten people have been reported injured. The Lavra, founded in 1051, is a significant religious and cultural landmark, known for its golden domes and underground tunnels. Ukrainian officials accuse Russia of deliberately targeting the site, calling it a brutal attack on Ukrainian culture and faith. The monastery has a complex history involving both the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches, with tensions escalating since the 2014 annexation of Crimea. The head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has appealed for prayers, describing the fire as a “Russian crime against humanity.” Residents have been urged to seek shelter as further attacks continue.
