Unknown threatens to blow up Kiev Metropolis of UOC

"A few minutes ago the Kiev Metropolis received a phone call with a threat to blow up the seminary today, and then get on to Metropolitan Onufriy," wrote on his Facebook page a former student of the Kiev Theological Academy and Seminary Oleg Nad’. 

The duty of the Kyiv Metropolis confirmed to the UOC that a man, judging by his voice, of 40 years of age or older called and said, "Run away from the Metropolis tonight, we will blow it up with Anthony and Kotsaba. And then we’ll get on to Onufriy". 

Apparently, the perpetrator meant Metropolitan Onufriy of Kiev and All Ukraine, the Chancellor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Anthony of Borispol and Brovary (Pakanich) and the head of the Administrative Apparatus of the UOC of the Kyiv Metropolis Viktor (Kotsaba).
