On 30 September 2022, the Russian Armed Forces reportedly launched sixteen S-300 missiles at a civilian convoy in the outskirts of Zaporizhzhia, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. 32 people were killed (both adults and children) and 86 more were injured.
Four of the 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.
The attack occurred hours before Russia formally annexed four regions of Ukraine, including Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
