Missiles strike on convoy of cars kills many civilians in Ukraine: Russia blamed

Ukraine today blamed Russia for shelling a convoy of civilian cars in the southern Zaporizhzhia region. In this shelling at least 25 people were killed.

Police rushed to the scene of Friday’s missile strike along with relief workers, the impact of which threw chunks of dirt into the air and sprayed the vehicles with shrapnel.

The civilians cars were packed with the occupants’ belongings, blankets and suitcases.  Two bodies lay in a white mini-van in front of that car, its windows blown and the sides pitted with shrapnel.

A woman, Nataliya, said she and her husband had been visiting their children in Zaporizhzhia.

“We were returning to my mother who is 90 years old. We have been spared. It’s a miracle,” she said, standing with her husband beside their car.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called Russia a “terrorist state” and “bloodthirsty scum” after the strikes that also wounded 50 people.
