One woman died near a cathedral in central Donetsk, as a result of Ukrainian troops' shelling carried out on Orthodox Easter night, a Sputnik correspondent reports.

Ukrainian forces fired a total of 20 rockets at the Voroshylovskyi District of Donetsk at around 03:25 a.m. local time on Sunday (00:25 GMT), the Donetsk People's Republic's (DPR) mission to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of issues related to Ukraine's war crimes (JCCC) said on Telegram.

A Sputnik correspondent reported that some of the rockets landed near the Svyato-Preobrazhenskyy cathedral in central Donetsk, where the Orthodox Easter service was taking place (Orthodox Christians are celebrating Easter this year on April 16).
