In the car were: Road to Relief director Emma Igual from Spain, Anthony "Tonko" Ignat from Canada, medical volunteer Mawick Ruben from Germany, and Johan Mathias Thyr from Sweden. Volunteers carried humanitarian aid in the Bakhmut direction.

Mawick and Johan are seriously wounded and sent to a hospital in the Dnipro region, Anthony and Emma are killed. Imagine: the Russians used an anti-tank missile against a passenger car with people.

"Ruben and Johan were badly injured with shrapnel wounds and burns but are now stable in separate hospitals far from the scene. Tonko has been confirmed dead, and his body has been retrieved, while Emma's current status is still unknown," Road to Relief on Instagram.

Killing volunteers, medics, and journalists is a remarkable tactic in Russia's war against civilians.
