“The enemy has launched a rocket attack on a humanitarian convoy of civilians, people queuing to go to the occupied territory, to meet relatives, to receive aid,” Oleksander Staroech said via the Telegram message service. Staruch said 23 people were killed and 28 injured.
The Russian occupation in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya region has accused Kiev of being behind the deadly attack on civilians. “Ukrainian fighters have committed another terrorist act. When they saw that the population was moving to the occupied part of Zaporizhzhya, they targeted a column of dozens of civilian cars,” said Vladimir Rogov, a head of the regional occupation, via the Telegram message service.
