Nova Poshta branch in Zaporizhia region destroyed in overnight attack

Russians attacked a branch of Ukraine’s express delivery leader Nova Poshta in Novomykolaivka, Zaporizhia region, with a strike drone overnight into Thursday, destroying over 150 parcels, the company said.

"As a result of a Shahed-2 strike drone hit, the Nova Poshta branch in Novomykolaivka was destroyed. None of the staff were hurt, as the branch was closed overnight," Nova Poshta wrote on Telegram.

The preliminary compensation amount for customers is reported to reach UAH 300,000. The company is already contacting customers whose parcels were at the branch.

Nova Poshta said a mobile branch would soon be set up nearby to continue providing delivery services.

Zaporizhia regional military administration head Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram that one person was killed and four others wounded in the enemy’s attack on the region.

"The number of casualties from the morning Russian strike on Zaporizhia district is rising. Several private houses were destroyed in the attack on Balabyne," he wrote.
