Quote: "Several branches have been damaged, ranging from partial damage to complete destruction. Most importantly, all the employees are alive, although some were injured."

Details: In Kyiv Oblast, the central branch in Brovary was hit and a fire broke out, which was quickly extinguished by the emergency services.

Near Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Russian drones destroyed a mobile branch, but the crew managed to reach shelter in time. A reserve unit will replace the mobile branch, which serves the village of Vyshchetarasivka.

A stationary branch in Nikopol was also hit but is expected to be repaired quickly.

In Sumy Oblast, a guided aerial bomb completely destroyed the Ukrposhta branch in the village of Bereza. The branch manager is in hospital and is under observation, but her injuries are not life-threatening.

"Ukrposhta continues to operate even under fire, providing communities with essential services," the Ministry added.
