Original Note:
The church was likely set on fire by the explosion of a Russian missile. The air defence is unlikely to be the culprit as an S300 missile uses only a small explosion to propel fragments into it's surroundings. Russia targeted historic churches in the past. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russias-attack-on-odesa-kills-one-damages-citys-largest-cathedral/ar-AA1edWvi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-300_missile_system https://www.euronews.com/2022/06/05/historic-wooden-orthodox-church-burns-down-in-donetsk-monastic-complex
