On the morning of July 31, Russian forces launched a drone attack on a critical infrastructure facility in the Kharkiv region. The target was a postal terminal in the suburbs of Kharkiv. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing Oleksiy Synegubov, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration.
Course of events and consequences of the attack
Preliminary data indicates that a cargo truck caught fire as a result of the attack. Relevant services are currently working to eliminate the consequences of the strike. At the time of publication, there were no reports of civilian casualties, although rescue and fire departments continue their operations.
Systematic attack on Ukraine's logistics
The incident in the Kharkiv region is not an isolated one. Recently, Russian forces have increasingly targeted facilities of the logistics company "Nova Poshta" in various regions of the country. This indicates a shift in the enemy's tactics, attempting to paralyze the postal system and disrupt communication between settlements.
The list of recent attacks on the company's infrastructure includes:
- July 30 (evening): A Nova Poshta terminal in Dnipro was struck.
- July 30 (night): During a massive attack across Ukraine, a sorting terminal in Poltava was hit.
- July 25 (night): A Russian drone struck the territory of the sorting terminal's yard in Sumy. Three people were killed in this incident.
The sequence of strikes on logistics hubs in Sumy, Poltava, Dnipro, and now Kharkiv points to coordinated enemy actions aimed at destabilizing the postal service in key Ukrainian cities.
