The strike was the latest attack to kill civilians in the Kharkiv region near the Russian border.
Workers on Sunday assess damage to a Ukrainian postal facility from a Russian missile strike that killed six employees near the northeastern city of Kharkiv overnight. KHARKIV, Ukraine — A Russian antiaircraft missile hit a sprawling mail facility near the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv late Saturday, killing six postal workers and injuring 17 others, local officials said.Some of the wounded suffered critical injuries, Kharkiv’s governor, Oleh Synyehubov, said on the Telegram messaging app.
The blast from the strike blew out a large section of the buildings, and on Sunday morning, the sorting center managed by Ukraine’s largest private postal company, Nova Poshta, was in disarray. Debris littered the site, and a row of mail delivery trucks stood with their sides and roofs blown out. Nova Poshta is involved in helping distribute humanitarian aid across Ukraine amid the war.
The strike was the deadliest for civilians in the Kharkiv region since a Russian missile killed more than 50 people attending a funeral in the village of Hroza, east of Kharkiv city, earlier this month. Ukrainian forces recaptured Kharkiv from Russian troops last year, in one of Kyiv’s most stunning battlefield victories since Russia invaded in February 2022.
