Vladimir Putin's army during the war with Ukraine attacks not only military targets, but unfortunately also civilian buildings. On Sunday, there was an attack on a post office in the Kharkiv region, confirmed by "Ukrainian Truth" and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
As reported by the Governor of Kharkiv, Oleh Syniehubov, an explosion was caused by a Russian S-300 missile, which led to the death of at least six people, while another 16 were injured.
All victims are employees of a private Ukrainian post office and the courier company Nova Poshta. Emergency services and all other services are currently on the scene.
We must respond daily to Russian terror, achieving results on the front line. Moreover, we must strengthen global unity to fight this terrorism - wrote the president of Ukraine on social media.
As Zelensky adds, Russia will not be able to achieve anything through terror and murder. The end result for all terrorists is the same: they need to face responsibility for what they have done.
Over 600 days of war in Ukraine
Over the past 24 hours, the Russian military used a record number of aerial bombs over the Kherson region. Ukraine will certainly want to respond to the Russian army, and now it has the specialized tools to do so.
NATO was very reluctant to provide long-range missile rockets for the M270 MLRS and M142 HIMARS systems for a long time. So far, the Americans have supplied guided M30A1 GMLRS-AW and M31A2 GMLRS-U rocket missiles with a range of up to 52 miles.
This allowed Ukraine to attack targets in Crimea and directly behind the front line. There are plans to supply GLSDB precision artillery ammunition with a declared range of up to 93 miles.
In July of this year, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announced that there was a possibility of their transfer. This happened after the delivery of Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG missiles by the United Kingdom and France.
