Quote: "The employees were not injured because the depot was not operating at the time of the attack."

Details: First responders from the State Emergency Service and other rescue teams are working at the scene. Access to the warehouse has been restricted due to the damaged roof, smoke and the risk of further structural collapse.

Early reports from the company say that there were 363 parcels inside the facility at the time of the strike, with a total declared value of approximately UAH 1 million (about US$22,400). Their condition is still being assessed.

Nova Poshta said it would compensate customers for the declared value of any damaged shipments and would provide further details regarding the reimbursement process.

Background:

• A Russian drone strike previously damaged Nova Poshta's hub in Dnipro.
• Russia later launched a second strike on the company's hub in Dnipro after it had already been targeted by drones on 3 June.
