Another employee was injured and received medical assistance. His life is not in danger.

Quote from Shkil: "This particular road unit had been repairing frontline roads on the Kupiansk-Lyman and Vovchansk fronts. Autostrada’s road workers are constantly sent out to deal with the aftermath of strikes, fill craters and restore road surfaces – all under constant threat of attacks." 

Background: A part of the sorting terminal of Nova Poshta, the largest private postal operator in Ukraine, in Kharkiv Oblast was destroyed as a result of a Russian attack.
