On April 26, 2026, as a result of Chernihiv shelling, the temple complex of the UOC of All Saints of Chernihiv was damaged.
Judging by footage from the scene, the main damage fell on the multi-story building located next to the temple. The blast wave shattered the temple's windows, the arched windows of the upper floor of the building, and the rectangular openings on the lower levels. The massive wooden doors decorated with carved crosses were also damaged.
An outbuilding was also affected, with a window unit completely falling out from its wall. On the staircase landings inside the building, the windows were shattered and frames were deformed. Despite numerous damages, there were no casualties.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the Kharkiv Metropolitan expressed condolences after attacks on Bohodukhiv.
