On December 6, 2024, Russian troops delivered another devastating blow to Zaporizhzhia, which led to terrible consequences for the city's civilians. At 6:00 p.m., when there were many cars on the highways, the Russian army used guided aerial bombs (UAVs), as a result of which a large part of the dead was burned alive in the cars.
As a correspondent from Zaporizhzhia reported, the impact on the highway occurred during rush hour, when there were many people on the roads. The cars stopped at a traffic light, and at that moment the Russian pilots struck. According to eyewitnesses, this happened against the background of a large number of cars and people near shopping centers, which only increased the scale of the tragedy.
"I was outside and suddenly I saw a flash, and then I heard a loud explosion. I was about a kilometer away from the place of arrival. There is a video that shows what happened - a real apocalypse," the journalist said.
The consequences of the impact became even more terrible when local residents tried to save the victims, pulling people out of burning cars before the arrival of rescuers. Out of 10 dead, 8 people were burned alive in cars. Another 24 people were injured, including three children.
"These fascist scum, the pilots of Putin's Luftwaffe, burned innocent people right on the road with their bomb. It was real hell," the journalist commented on the situation.
The explosions, which were aimed not only at the destruction of infrastructure, but also at terrorizing civilians, became another tragic page in the war waged by Russia against Ukraine.
