The St Nedelya Church bombing was a terrorist attack on St Nedelya Church in Sofia, Bulgaria. It was carried out on 16 April 1925, when a group of the Military Organisation of the Bulgarian Communist Party directed and supplied by the Soviet Military Intelligence blew up the church's roof during the funeral service of General Konstantin Georgiev, who had been killed in a previous communist assault on 14 April. Over 200 people, mainly from the country's political and military elite, were killed in the attack and around 500 bystander worshipers, who attended the liturgy, were injured.
