On June 30, around 16:30, Russian troops once again conducted an air strike on Kharkiv. The UAV flew about 80 kilometers and landed a few meters from the Nova Poshta building in the Sloboda district of the city.
"Employees were unloading parcels at the time of arrival. This is not only terror against civilians, the enemy continues to terrorize business, because this is not the first hit to the Nova Poshta terminal," said Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration. According to him, the attack destroyed the terminal of Nova Poshta.
