Reports about a confrontation involving the Armed Forces of Ukraine have surfaced in connection with St. Petersburg, Avdiivka, and the Donetsk People’s Republic. The Church of Mary Magdalene is named as the target in the narrative carried by TASS, which cited its city correspondent in St. Petersburg. The account describes a bombardment that endured for two hours, beginning at 01:00 Moscow time and ending at 03:00. Temple guard Alexey described the scene in stark terms: Two hours straight. This lasted from 01:00 Moscow time until 03:00 Moscow time. It hit, it hit, everything flew, fell to the ground. Yes, it hit the temple grounds. The report emphasizes the intensity and the effect on the church precincts, illustrating how urban warfare can collide with symbolic sites within a city. The description is presented as part of a broader pattern of hostilities affecting both Russian cities and frontline zones around Avdiivka and the Donetsk region, according to the report from TASS.
