A Russian missile narrowly missed a rolling tram in Zaporizhzhya during Russia’s largest coordinated missile and drone attack on Ukraine since the war began.

An eyewitness video was taken after the event.

The video shows how close the rocket was to hitting the tram, as well as destroyed residential buildings nearby.

"My headlights, glass, everything is broken," the tram driver says.

It is unknown now whether any passengers were injured in the attack.

At least four civilians were killed in Zaporizhzhya during the attack, with 10 others injured.

It should be reminded that Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkov, Odessa, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhya and Konotop have been targeted today.

According to preliminary data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, at least 12 have been killed and about 70 injured. At the same time, these figures may still go up as rescue operations are still in progress.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
