Russia says it hit Ukrainian postal hub and ship as Ukraine strikes Ryazan

Russia’s Defence Ministry said on Telegram that its forces had used drones to hit a terminal of Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s largest private delivery company, in the village of Novyi Korotych outside Kharkiv. It said it also struck a 330-kilovolt substation in the Dnipropetrovsk region and a dry cargo ship carrying military equipment in the Black Sea, 52km (32 miles) southwest of the port of Odesa.

Kharkiv Governor Oleh Syniehubov said Russia had attacked the city and 17 settlements in the region over the past day with more than 80 drones, injuring six people, including a child. In the eastern Donetsk region, Governor Vadym Filashkin said Russian attacks killed four civilians and injured five others on Wednesday, with two people killed in Serhiivka and two in Yasnohirka.

Local outlet Novosti Donbasu reported that the two killed in Yasnohirka were women who died when Russian forces struck the village with two glide bombs. Moscow says the logistics sites it targets serve the Ukrainian military.
