A Russian drone struck a Nova Post logistics terminal in Zaporizhzhia on June 12, triggering a large fire at the facility.
The attack damaged the premises of the logistics operator and caused a significant blaze, according to the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, Ivan Fedorov.

“The logistics operator’s terminal has been damaged—Russians continue their attacks on Zaporizhzhia,” Fedorov said in a statement.
He added that, according to preliminary information, no casualties were reported as a result of the strike.
Nova Post confirmed that all employees were in shelters at the time of the attack and were unharmed. The company said it has activated backup logistics arrangements to maintain operations, and parcel deliveries are continuing without disruption.
“To ensure uninterrupted operations, we have deployed alternative logistics solutions. Shipments are currently being processed as normal. Emergency services and law enforcement are working at the site. Damage assessment is ongoing,” the company stated.
Ukrainian emergency services are continuing response efforts at the scene, as authorities document the extent of the destruction.
Several days earlier, on June 8, a Russian drone attack on a residential area of Zaporizhzhia left two people dead and 24 others injured.
The strike hit a densely populated neighbourhood, with civilians inside their homes among those affected as Russian forces continued targeting residential areas of the city.
Fedorov initially reported five injured, but the number later rose to 24 as emergency services continued rescue and recovery operations at the scene. He confirmed that two people were killed, while the injured were receiving medical treatment.
Overall, Russia has committed over 200,000 war crimes since the beginning of its full-scale invasion and stressed the need for accountability, according to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.
