Details: In Mena, the Russians attacked an Ukrposhta branch and the base for vehicles used by mobile branches serving rural settlements in the area twice, Smilianskyi said.

"None of our colleagues were injured! There was definitely stress, but the main thing is that there were no injuries or fatalities," he wrote.

The State Emergency Service and Ukrposhta's regional team are dealing with the aftermath of the attack. Ukrposhta is developing a plan to relocate employees and quickly reopen the branch at a new location.

"All parcels that were damaged or lost as a result of the attack will definitely be compensated," Smilianskyi noted.

A branch in Kramatorsk was also hit. "But we closed it in advance, so neither employees nor customers were injured. We are starting repairs and restoring the branch," he said.
