Local reports say a missile struck the Bohopol/Behaipoli cemetery in Pervomaisk, Mykolaiv region, with videos showing multiple fires across the grounds. Fire crews brought the blazes under control, and authorities are assessing the extent of damage to tombstones. The cemetery is the largest Jewish burial ground in the city and includes graves of noted rabbis such as Rabbi Yisrael HaKadosh of Bohopol and Rabbi Mordechai of Talna, though their graves have not been confirmed damaged. Chabad emissaries Rabbi Levi‑Yitzchok and Rebbetzin Chana Perlstein are documenting the damage to ensure proper treatment of the deceased and say their community work will continue. Rabbi Meir Stambler cited recent incidents in Odessa, Dnipro, and Kherson as part of a pattern of strikes on Jewish institutions, with no injuries reported in those cases.
