The mayor of the southeastern Ukrainian city of Enerhodar said on Wednesday a temporary ceasefire was in force, allowing the evacuation of civilians to start through a "humanitarian corridor".
Mayor Dmytro Orlov said humanitarian supplies would be allowed into the city, which has been under fire from Russian forces, and added: "On the way back, buses will pick up civilians who want to leave."
He said civilians would be able to go to the nearby city of Zaporizhzhia.
