Opened in February 2022, the Dnipro Automated Sorting Hub is Ukraine's second-largest parcel sorting facility, making it a key logistics center for eastern Ukraine.

The 18,000-square-meter complex consists of two buildings, processes between 26,000 and 36,000 parcels per hour, and services over 100 settlements across 3 regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Donetsk.

Staff evacuated to shelters in time, leaving no casualties, though the hit started a fire on the terminal roof. Mykola Lukashuk confirmed that the company’s safety protocols protected employees from harm.

He highlighted the civilian role of the postal operator in maintaining everyday life and economic stability.

"Russia is once again striking a company that delivers books, clothing, and household items to people, provides jobs, pays taxes, and supports the economy," Lukashuk noted.

The facility utilizes automated equipment from European suppliers MHS Global and Equinox alongside Ukrainian SBR robotic carts, according to volunteer Tymofiy Kucher.

During the same evening, Russian strikes also targeted an administrative building of a local food industry company. The attack coincided with broader strikes across the country on July 30, during which another Nova Poshta sorting hub in Poltava was hit. The mail carrier confirmed it will assess all damages and compensate customers for the full declared value of impacted items.

Russia unleashed a massive overnight barrage of more than 350 missiles and drones across Ukraine, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens across multiple regions.

The widespread assault struck civilian infrastructure, residential areas, and industrial sites from Kyiv to Lviv, destroying dozens of homes and public facilities.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that air defense forces intercepted over 260 drones alongside numerous cruise missiles despite a critical shortage of partner-supplied interceptors. He urged international allies to expedite deliveries of anti-ballistic systems, warning that delays directly contributed to civilian casualties and severe destruction.
