Drone Attack Destroys Nova Poshta Branch in Novomykolaivka, Zaporizhzhia

In the early hours of April 9, 2023, a drone strike in Zaporizhzhia resulted in the destruction of a Nova Poshta branch in the village of Novomykolaivka, according to a statement from the company's press service on Telegram.

During the night of April 9, 2023, Zaporizhzhia and its surrounding areas became targets of a hostile attack. A strike by a Shahed-136 drone, known as 'Geran-2', led to the complete destruction of a Nova Poshta branch located in the village of Novomykolaivka. This incident has raised concerns about the ongoing threats faced by civilians in the region.

In its statement, Nova Poshta emphasized that, despite the severe consequences of the attack, no employees were injured as the branch was closed at night. This crucial factor helped prevent potential human casualties as a result of the enemy strike, underscoring the importance of safety measures in conflict zones.

The fire that erupted following the attack resulted in the loss of over 150 parcels that were being processed at the time of the assault. Nova Poshta has already initiated contact with customers whose packages were affected, providing them with necessary information and support. The preliminary amount of compensation that the company plans to pay to its clients is approximately 300,000 hryvnias, reflecting their commitment to customer service even in the face of adversity.

To ensure continued customer service in Novomykolaivka despite the destruction of the branch, Nova Poshta is planning to deploy a mobile branch nearby. This initiative aims to prevent residents from being left without access to the company's services, demonstrating the company's resilience and dedication to its clients during these challenging times.

This attack is part of a broader campaign that has been ongoing in the Zaporizhzhia region. Reports indicate that on the morning of April 9, the enemy launched at least eight strikes across the territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, resulting in injuries to one woman. These events highlight the continued aggression from enemy forces and the persistent threat to the civilian population, raising alarms about safety in the area.

In light of these events, Nova Poshta urges all its customers to remain vigilant and keep up with the news. The company encourages individuals to join their social media channels on platforms such as Telegram, Instagram, and YouTube to receive timely updates about the situation and the services offered by the company. This proactive communication strategy aims to keep the public informed amidst the ongoing conflict and to reassure clients of their commitment to service and safety.
