A Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Sunday completely destroyed Nova Poshta’s Branch No. 1, regional authorities said, adding that no casualties or injuries were reported on May 31.
Footage published online showed the building engulfed in a large fire.
Nova Poshta said Branch No. 1 of the company was completely destroyed in the Russian attack.
“An assessment of the consequences of the attack is ongoing. Detailed information about the condition of shipments will be determined after the aftermath of the strike has been fully addressed. Backup procedures have been activated and logistics routes have been adjusted. Delivery delays are not expected,” the company said.
The fire that broke out after the Russian strike on Dnipro covered an estimated 10,000 square meters (107,600 square feet), Suspilne reported, citing emergency responders.
On May 25, Russia struck a warehouse belonging to the United Nations World Food Programme in Dnipro with an Iskander ballistic missile, destroying $1.4 million worth of humanitarian aid — enough to support 130,000 people.
