The Ukrainian side struck at the Donetsk Iversky Monastery near the Donetsk airport. The monastery was opened in December 2001 at the cemetery church in honor of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God as a courtyard of the St. Nicholas convent. The monastery itself and the cemetery were badly damaged in the fall of 2014 by the actions of the Ukrainian military.
A new blow to the monastery was reported by the WarGonzo telegram channel, citing sources from the Donetsk front line.
“Several arrivals fell directly on the monastery complex,” the message says.

“At 18:30, shelling was recorded from the armed formations of Ukraine in the direction of the settlements Opytnoe – Zhabunki: two ATGM missiles were fired,” the message says.
In total, in less than an hour, the Ukrainian military fired 24 mines with a caliber of 82 and 120 mm across Donetsk and the environs. “The territory of the former airport of the capital and the area of ​​the village of Veseloe came under fire,” DAN notes.
