On September 30, 2022, the Russian Armed Forces reportedly launched S-300 missiles at a civilian convoy, killing 32 people, both adults and children, and injuring 86 more.[1][3][4][5][6]
The Russian Armed Forces launched 16 S-300 missiles on the outskirts of Zaporizhzhia, the capital of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Four missiles hit an area next to an automotive market on the southeast of Zaporizhzia, where a humanitarian convoy of around 60 cars was forming before going to the Russian checkpoint at Vasylivka in order to pick up their relatives.[7][8]
The attack occurred hours before Russia formally annexed four regions of Ukraine, including Zaporizhzhia Oblast.[5]
Reaction
Vice-President of the European Commission Josep Borrell condemned the attack, tweeting, "Another heinous attack by Russia on civilians: this time a humanitarian convoy bringing vital help to people living in the non-government controlled areas of Zaporizhzhia."[9]
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the attack by calling Russia a "state-terrorist".[4] The Zaporizhzhia regional prosecutor's office opened a criminal case on the violation of the laws and customs of war.[10] The Ukrainian authorities of the Zaporizhzhia region declared October 1 a day of mourning.
