A missile attack on a civilian vehicle convoy in Ukraine’s Zaporozhye region killed 23 people and injured 28. The attack occurred hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the decrees recognizing the so-called independence of Kherson and Zaporizhia regions of Ukraine. The civilians in the region are being evacuated to safe locations in the event of another attack.

On the other hand, Russian officials claimed that the attack was carried out by the Ukrainian side.
