It is noted that rescuers and doctors are working at the scene.
Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov reported that there were also residents of Melitopol in the humanitarian convoy.
“This morning, the Russians attacked a convoy of civilian cars that were waiting to leave Zaporizhzhia in the direction of the temporarily occupied territories.
