According to a Ukrainian official, at least 23 people have died and 28 have been injured in a Russian attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia.
Oleksandr Starukh, the regional governor of Zaporizhzhia, made the disclosure in a statement posted online today.
He said that a convoy carrying help to Russian-occupied area was attacked by Russian military. He shared pictures of wrecked cars and dead laying on the ground.
The strike was not immediately acknowledged by Russia.
As part of its invasion of Ukraine, Moscow is getting ready to annex four districts after a gunpoint referendum vote that has drawn worldwide criticism.
According to Starukh, members in the convoy intended to enter area that was held by Russia in order to collect their family and then transport them to safety. Rescuers, he claimed, were already on the scene of the attack.
