On the night of July 2, a Russian drone strike destroyed a terminal belonging to Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s largest private delivery service, in the city of Sloviansk, Donetsk region, the company's press service reported.

"During the night, Russians attacked the city with Shahed-type drones, destroying the Nova Poshta terminal. Fortunately, no employees were injured. The exact amount of damage is still being assessed. At this point, we know that around 300 parcels were destroyed, while another 5,000 were saved. Police and emergency services are currently working at the scene," the company said in a statement.

Delivery delays are expected to and from Sloviansk across all regions of Ukraine.

Nova Poshta noted that affected customers will be contacted and compensated

• This is not the first Russian strike on the company’s infrastructure. In late May, Russian forces destroyed a Nova Poshta depot and office in Izmail, located in the southern Odesa region.
• That same month, the company was forced to close its last branch in Kostiantynivka due to the advancing frontline, as well as an office in a heavily shelled district of Kherson.
