  • On 14 April 2023, on Eastern Orthodox Christian Good Friday, a Russian missile strike struck residential buildings in Sloviansk, Ukraine, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3][4][1] 15 civilians were killed and 24 were injured.[2] 34 apartment buildings, administrative buildings, and shops were damaged in the blasts.[3]

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, noting that it shows Russia's cruelty since it was carried out during the religious holiday of Easter.[3]
