ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine—At least 30 civilians were killed and almost 100 wounded in what Kyiv said was a cynical Russian missile strike on a convoy of civilian cars in southern Ukraine on Friday.

The convoy had been assembling at a car market on the edge of the city of Zaporizhzhia, preparing to leave Ukrainian territory controlled by Ukraine to visit relatives and deliver supplies in an area occupied by Russia, officials said.
