Russia strikes Ukrposhta
Smilianskyi noted that despite his strategy of keeping attacks on Ukrposhta infrastructure out of the public eye, he decided to publicize the incident in Mykolaiv.
"Several hours ago, a UAV struck directly behind our branch. The building was damaged, but fortunately, our employees and clients were not harmed," the CEO said.

According to Smilianskyi, an injured person ran into the branch immediately after the explosion. Employees provided first aid and called an ambulance.
The CEO thanked the branch staff for their promptness and noted that it was fortunate that Ukrposhta was operating during the "yellow" alert level, as this allowed them to assist people.
"Regarding the branch itself - we are already working on its restoration, and everything will be back to normal soon," he assured.
On September 20, occupiers attacked a mobile Ukrposhta branch in the Sumy region with a drone. Two employees were injured as a result of the strike.
Furthermore, on August 25, Russian troops twice struck a Ukrposhta branch and vehicles in Mena, Chernihiv region.
