Tatar Mosque Targeted in Arson Attack

The Crimean section of RFE/RL’s Ukrainian service reported that a mosque in a Crimean Tatar neighborhood of Simferopol was targeted in an attempted arson attack early on June 13. Surveillance camera footage released to RFE shows men throwing firebombs at Chuqurcha Mosque (Мечеть Чукьурча) in Luhove, in the eastern part of the city. A local report said a swastika was painted on the building, but this cannot be seen in the footage. Credit: Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
