Kyiv, At least 23 people have been killed in a Russian missile attack on a car market in southern Ukraine. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, many people have been affected by the horrific explosion caused by the fall of a Russian missile in a car market located on the coast of Zaporizhia city, in which 23 people have been confirmed dead so far. The attack was so powerful that the concrete road left a crater several feet deep and the car windows were also blown away by the impact of the missile attack.

Reporting the incident, the regional governor of Zaporizhia Alexander Starukh said that so far 23 people have been reported dead and about 28 injured have been hospitalised. At the same time, Colonel Sergei Uzrumov, head of the Explosive Disposal Unit of the Zaporizhia Police Department, said that the car market was targeted by three S-300 missiles. He told reporters at the scene that most of those killed were standing next to him in their cars. However, Vladimir Rogov, an official in the Russian-established administration in Zaporizhia, blamed the Ukrainian military for the missile attack.

Today, Zaporizhia will be included in Russia
The President of Russia is expected to announce the inclusion of three other Ukrainian provinces in Russia today, including Zaporizhia. Following the results of referendums organized by Russian-backed leaders in four regions of Ukraine, Russia has completed all preparations for the merger of these regions. At the same time, Ukraine is aggressively attacking Russia to take back its territory. Russia has threatened to carry out a nuclear attack if it gives up its occupation of these areas, amid attacks by Ukraine.
