No reports of casualties have been received so far. All relevant emergency services are working at the site of the Russian strike. The extent of the damage to the terminal is still being assessed.
Nova Poshta notes that an innovative terminal, a European-standard sorting line, was destroyed by the Russian strike. The equipment cannot be repaired. No employees were injured.
The day before, authorities in Kyiv and the surrounding region announced possible changes to the approach for alerting the public.
Meanwhile, authorities are developing different alarm signals depending on the type of threat, as well as a possible change to the curfew regime in Kyiv,
In addition, experts explained why it is difficult for Ukrainian air defenses to shoot down Shahed jet drones.
According to an expert, the speed of such drones exceeds 400–450 kilometers per hour, so most interceptor drones simply cannot keep up with that flight speed.
On the morning of August 31, a Russian drone also attacked a Nova Poshta truck in the Kharkiv region.
As a result of the Russian strike in the village of Blyzniuky, the vehicle caught fire, and the driver was injured.
