Ukraine said at least 23 civilians were killed and 28 wounded near the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia in a Russian missile strike early Friday.

The people were struck while standing in a line that was preparing to leave the city in a humanitarian convoy bound for nearby occupied areas. They planned to take their relatives to safety or to bring aid, Zaporizhzhia’s regional administration said on its Telegram channel.
