<\/p>\nRussian missiles have killed at least six people and wounded 14 others in Ukraine in a strike on a mail depot in the country’s\u00a0northeastern Kharkiv region, officials say.<\/p>\n
Ukraine’s 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 Ukrainian postal operator Nova Poshta.<\/p>\n
‘All six dead and 14 injured as a result of the occupiers’ attack were employees of the company who were inside the Nova Poshta terminal,’ Kharkiv region governor Oleg Sinegubov said.<\/p>\n
‘The victims, aged between 19 and 42, received shrapnel wounds and blast injuries,’ he added.\u00a0Of the 14 being treated in hospital, seven were in a serious condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Doctors are fighting for their lives,’ he added.<\/p>\n

According to the regional prosecutor’s office, Russian forces in the Belgorod region north of Kharkiv fired S-300 missiles, two of which hit the warehouse.<\/p>\n
‘Debris analysis continues at the site in order to establish the exact number of injured and dead,’ office spokesman Dmytro Chubenko told Suspilne, Ukraine’s state broadcaster.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s strike comes two weeks after another on the same region.<\/p>\n
On October 6,\u00a0the village of Hroza in northeastern Ukraine was hit by a Russian missile, killing 59 people.<\/p>\n
Ukraine said a Russian missile hit a cafe in the village in the region as people gathered to mourn a fallen Ukrainian soldier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moscow denies targeting civilians in its full-scale invasion, a position it repeated in response to a question at a Kremlin briefing about the strike on Hroza.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s strike comes two weeks after another on the same region that killed 59 people<\/p>\n
The toll from the stroke is one of the highest among civilians in any single Russian strike in nearly 20 months of the war.<\/p>\n
Forensic experts worked round the clock for six days to identify the victims.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They needed mobile DNA laboratories to identify 19, and one person – a 60-year-old man – was identified only after 20 body parts were collected, officials said.<\/p>\n
Ukraine’s SBU security service has accused two villagers who it said had fled to Russia of helping guide the missile strike.<\/p>\n
