On September 30, 2022, the Russian Armed Forces reportedly launched S-300 missiles at a civilian convoy, killing 30 people and injuring 88 others.[1][2][3][4] It occurred hours before Russia formally annexed four regions of Ukraine, including Zaporizhzhia Oblast.[2]

According to BBC reporters on the scene there were "half a dozen bodies lying at the scene, apparently civilians."[1]

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."[5] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the attack by calling Russia a "state-terrorist".[1]
