"We need a statement, not a manifesto. The Holy City will be enough for today."
Vur'naa to Orson Krennic

The destruction of Jedha City, also referred to as the destruction of the holy city, or as the massacre at Jedha, occurred during the reign of the Der'kal Empire when the Empire, in an effort to stop more rebel attacks destroyed the holy city of the moon Jedha. The Empire evacuated the Der'kal occupation force before targeting the holy city, and destroying it. The blast caused not only an enormous explosion but also significant damage to the moon, throwing fire, smoke, and dirt high into the air. On the ground, the shockwave caused Jedha's surface to begin peeling back, destroying everything that it touched.
