Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared a video on social media showing what appeared to be a heavily damaged warehouse next to rubble and a container with the logo of Ukrainian postal operator Nova Pochta.
“The six people killed and 14 injured in the attack by the occupiers were employees of the company who were in the Nova Pochta terminal,” said the governor of the Kharkiv region, Oleg Sinegoubov.
“The victims, aged 19 to 42, were injured by shrapnel and explosions,” he added.
According to Sinegoubov, 14 people are hospitalized, seven of them in serious condition.
According to the regional prosecutor’s office, Russian forces in the Belgorod region bordering Ukraine fired S-300 missiles, two of which hit the warehouse.
“The analysis of the rubble continues on site to determine the exact number of injured and dead,” office spokesman Dmytro Tchoubenko told state media Suspilne.
