A colleague of the victims – the youngest aged 19 – said it was not the first time the mail service has been hit.
Russian missile strikes killed at least six postal workers and wounded 17 others when they hit a postal depot in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region, officials said.
President Volodymyr Zelensky shared a video on social media of what appeared to be a heavily damaged warehouse surrounded by rubble and a container with the logo of the Ukrainian postal operator Nova Poshta.
The six killed in the attack on Saturday were all workers at the Nova Poshta depot, located in the village of Korotych on the outskirts of Kharkiv city, regional governor Oleg Sinegubov said.
