Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared a video on social media of what appears to be a badly damaged warehouse next to debris and a container bearing the logo of Ukrainian postal operator Nova Pochta.
“The six people killed and 14 injured by the attack of the occupiers were employees of the company who were inside the Nova Pochta terminal,” said the governor of the Kharkiv region, Oleg Sinegoubov.
“The victims, aged 19 to 42, were injured by shrapnel and blast (from the explosions),” he added.
Fourteen people are hospitalized, including 7 in serious condition, according to Mr. Sinegoubov.
According to the regional prosecutor’s office, Russian forces in the Belgorod region, bordering Ukraine, fired S-300 missiles, and two of them hit the warehouse.
“Analysis of the debris continues at the scene in order to establish the exact number of injured and dead,” office spokesman Dmytro Tchoubenko told state media Suspilne.
