The death toll has risen to seven as a result of a Russian strike on the Nova Poshta terminal on 21 October. A 25-year-old man who had been hospitalised died in hospital this morning. Oleh Synyehubov, the head of the RMA, reported this on Telegram.

"The Russian army has already killed seven people by striking at Nova Poshta. Another 12 are being treated, two of them in intensive care," he wrote.

On the evening of 21 October, the Russian army struck another civilian facility - the Nova Poshta terminal in the village of Korotych. Six employees were killed and 17 others were injured. The company said that the employees did not have time to take cover, as only a few seconds passed between the alarm and the strike. The attack was carried out with S-300 missiles from the territory of the Russian Federation.

Nova Poshta reported that the victims were Oleksandr Temnikov, 31; Dmitriy Herasychkin, 30; Artem Akopov, 21; Oleksandr Bizhanov, 22; Vladyslav Pankov, 28; and Oleksiy Yermola, 23.
