Russian forces launched a strike on the city of Chuhuiv in the Kharkiv region during the night of July 5. As a result, a Nova Poshta branch was damaged, and debris is currently being cleared at the site, according to Nova Poshta’s Telegram channel.

"In the evening of July 4, the enemy carried out a massive attack on Ukraine. As a result of drone strikes, Nova Poshta branch No. 1 in the city of Chuhuiv was damaged. The branch is currently operating in a limited mode: only pickup from the ramp is available, with no customer access to the premises due to significant structural damage," the company stated.

It was also reported that no employees or customers were injured, as the branch was closed at the time of the strike. All parcels remained intact. Shipments addressed to this branch are being redirected to branch No. 2.

"There will be no delivery delays. We are already contacting customers and providing all necessary information," Nova Poshta added.
