Surveillance footage of the shooting was posted on a Twitter page for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The video, which has reached two million views, showed the maroon-colored sedan stopping on a road as a Russian armored vehicle turned a junction into view. The tank fired two rounds and quickly obliterated the car. Then it turned and drove away, followed by two other armored vehicles. The security footage appeared to be dated February 28.
Another video shared by Ukrainian diplomat Olexander Scherba claimed to depict the aftermath of the attack. Warning: This footage is graphic and may be disturbing to viewers.
The clip showed a close-up of the heavily-shelled car. Much of its hood, doors and windows were blown out, leaving the distorted skeleton of a vehicle. Inside, the elderly couple's remains were slumped against each other, with the man in the driver's seat and the woman beside him.
The car's occupants were "two pensioners who were trying to escape," Scherba wrote. The car had a "handicapped person" sign.

Mykolaiv also reported that three teachers who worked at an orphanage were killed and two others wounded when their minibus was shelled by Russian troops, according to the regional council's chairman,
