Quote from SES: "A fire broke out on the premises of a postal company following a Russian drone strike. When SES units arrived at the scene, the enemy cynically launched repeat UAV strikes.

Hits were recorded on the hub building itself, and on containers and lorries. As a result, the facility's structures sustained significant damage, while the fire rapidly spread across an area of more than 400 sq m. SES personnel and equipment were not affected.

Despite the constant danger and the risk of further attacks, SES units promptly extinguished all the fires. No casualties were reported."
