Details: Ivan Fedorov, Head of Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration, also reported the strike on the logistics company's terminal. "The strike sparked a fire, with smoke visible from several kilometres away," he wrote on Telegram.

"Despite everything, I want to share some important news: we are not stopping. We continue to set new standards for logistics in Ukraine – we have launched overnight delivery and overnight parcel collection from parcel lockers, and we continue to expand our fulfilment services," Tafiichuk said.

"Our partners at MOYO.ua have lost their warehouse. We are already in contact with them and are ready to support them with our logistics capacity, as well as provide a free period of access to our services," he added.
