Quote: "An enemy drone has struck an Ukrposhta vehicle in Sumy Oblast. This is the fifth vehicle lost in the region in recent months."
Details: Ukrposhta noted that no postal workers were injured in the Russian attack on the vehicle. Local residents helped repair the car and the team returned to base.
The Russians also attacked an Ukrposhta branch in the village of Novomykolaivka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast on the night of 15-16 January.
"All the windows have been broken and the building has suffered serious damage. We are already boarding up the broken windows, and thanks to support from local authorities, work will continue in temporary premises while a permanent location is being sought," Ukrposhta said.
Hryhorov added that one person had been killed and 11 people injured in the oblast as a result of Russian strikes over the past day.
"A 35-year-old man was killed in the Bilopillia hromada due to guided aerial bomb strikes. A total of 11 people were injured: three men and eight women. All of them received medical treatment and are being treated on an outpatient basis," Hryhorov said.
