Holy Mother of God Cathedral, Stepanakert

Using Sentinel 2 satellite imagery, CHW can confirm reports of the destruction of the Holy Mother of God Church (Surb Astvatsatsin), consecrated by the Armenian Apostolic Church in 2019 in Khankendi/Stepanakert. The destruction took place between March 3 and April 2. Higher resolution imagery will provide a clearer picture in the coming weeks. CHW will also continue working with satellite image providers to try to provide greater resolution on the timing of the destruction.
