A Russian drone 19 attacked a mobile Ukrposhta branch in the Sumy region that was delivering pensions, medicines, parcels, and food to Ukrainians. As a result of the new attack, company employees were injured, and doctors fought to save their lives throughout the night. The condition of the wounded is assessed as serious.
The attack was reported by Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smilyansky on his Telegram channel. According to him, the enemy continues to deliberately target the mobile post offices that bring the most essential items to Ukrainians.
"Doctors in Sumy and Trostianets fought for the lives of our employees all night and, despite severe injuries, are cautiously offering a positive prognosis," Smilyansky noted.
The company head emphasized that they wish the victims a speedy recovery, and that the postal service itself is not stopping operations despite the constant danger.
"And we are improving security measures and continuing our work," Smilyansky added.
The enemy continues to strike civilian postal infrastructure
Attacks on Ukrposhta facilities occur regularly in various regions of the country. Thus, according to Ukrposhta, on the night of 25 August Russian forces struck company facilities twice in the city of Mena in Chernihiv region, damaging a branch and the transport base for mobile branches. A branch in Kramatorsk in Donetsk region was also affected; it was closed ahead of time for safety reasons.
The company repeatedly emphasizes that after strikes it restores operations, compensates customers for damaged shipments, and continues to serve residents even in frontline communities. The top priority remains the safety of employees and customers, so if there is a threat, staff are required to save people first and property afterward.
Earlier, Informator reported that Ukrposhta explained how branches operate during an air raid alert: work stops immediately after the alert is announced and resumes only after the all-clear, and staff are required to go to the nearest shelter.
We also wrote that Ukrposhta explained the issuance of parcels and pensions during a yellow alert — the company did not change work schedules and continues to provide postal and financial services under current safety rules even after the introduction of the new two-tier alert system.
