On September 7, 2025, at approximately 07:19, the Russian army attacked a section of the highway near Sloviansk with a strike "FPV drone." The target for the occupiers was a civilian vehicle. 

As a result of the direct hit by the UAV on the car, a 61-year-old female passenger was killed. Five other women aged between 49 and 72 sustained bodily injuries. They were transported to a medical facility with traumatic brain injuries, a concussion, abrasions, lacerations, contusions, and acute stress reactions, where they received qualified assistance.

Under the procedural guidance of the Sloviansk District Prosecutor's Office, a pre-trial investigation has been initiated in a criminal proceeding regarding the war crime (part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

Prosecutors are taking all possible and appropriate measures to document the cynical attack by the occupiers on the civilian population.
