Several dozen people pelted a synagogue in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia with Molotov cocktails

"Molotov cocktails were thrown at the walls and the entrance door of the building. The synagogue's facade was damaged," a spokesman for the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia told Interfax.

There were no worshippers inside the building at the time of the incident. Synagogue security guards failed to detain the attackers.
