In 2017, our govt called it a 'terrorist tactic' that *COULD* happen. Today, it's a common 'war tactic' used by Russia

Secondary terrorist attack:

USE OF SECONDARY EXPLOSIVE DEVICES TO TARGET FIRST RESPONDERS AND ONLOOKERS:

SECONDARY EXPLOSIVE DEVICE ATTACK TACTICS:

After an initial attack, terrorists may try to target first responders and onlookers by detonating a second explosive device in or around the anticipated safe area or evacuation locations..

Terrorists can conduct secondary attacks by infiltrating suicide bombers into crowds of bystanders or by detonating preset bombs remotely through the use of timers, remote triggers, or motion sensors.

To... "double tap":

A Russian missile strike hit civilian infrastructure in the Ukrainian city of Odesa, killing at least 14 people and injuring dozens of others, Ukrainian officials said Friday.

After the first missile struck the Black Sea port city Friday morning, killing and wounding civilians, Ukrainian emergency service personnel who had rushed to the scene were then caught in a second strike, in an attack known as a “double tap” used by Russia throughout more than two years of its war in Ukraine.

“The Russian missile attack killed a paramedic and a rescue worker who had arrived at the scene after the first explosion to provide assistance. There are also heavily injured among the medics and rescuers,” Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa regional military administration, wrote on Telegram.

And back in August:

The identity of a woman who was among five civilians and emergency workers critically injured in a “double tap” missile strike that killed seven people in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk remains a mystery, the head of the regional hospital has said.

Of the five, two were said to be civilians, one was a police officer and two were first responders. But the identity of the only woman in the group could not be discerned as her personal belongings were said to have been shredded in the blast.

The Iskander missiles that hit Pokrovsk had been launched 40 minutes apart, known as a “double tap”, leading to death and injury among those who rushed to the scene, near a hotel used by journalists, after the first strike.
