Sept. 30, 2022
The Russian Armed Forces launched 16 S-300 missiles on the outskirts of Zaporizhzhia, the capital of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Four missiles landed in the area of an automotive market, where a humanitarian convoy of around 60 civilian cars was forming before moving to the Russian checkpoint at Vasylivka. One of the large missiles hit the road beside the parked cars, hitting people sitting in their vehicles or standing around talking to each other with it's blast and metal shrapnel.
In total, 32 people, both adults and children, would be killed and 86 injured.
The convoy had been assembling and preparing to leave Ukrainian-controlled territory to visit relatives and deliver supplies in Russian occupied areas to the south. About 150 cars were allowed each day by the Russians to make the journey south heading for cities such as Mariupol and Melitopol.

Further down the road, in Russian-controlled Ukraine territory, another convoy was quened up, waiting to return to the Ukrainian-controlled region. Once getting approval to drive ahead, these people would have to drive by the scene of the bombing shortly after it happened.
The S-300 missile has a 315lb warhead and contains 19,000 to 36,000 metal fragments, depending on the missile type.
