The head of the Nova Poshta postal and courier company, Volodymyr Popereshniuk, said on Facebook that all 18 employees on duty had made their way safely to a bomb shelter before the missile hit a loading section of the depot. Pictures and video posted online showed flames and billowing clouds of smoke engulfing buildings and firefighters training their hoses on areas still ablaze. Most of the loading area appeared to have been reduced to a shell.
One Odesa media outlet posted a video it said showed the moment of impact, with debris flying inside the facility.Odesa is a frequent target of Russian attacks and missiles have hit sites in the city over the past two days, killing eight people. Many of the attacks since Russia launched its invasion in February 2022 have singled out the city's port infrastructure.A collapse of an expressway section in China's Guangdong province caused vehicles to plunge and killed 36 people while injuring another 30, state media reported on Thursday, as millions in the country travel for the May Day holiday break.
