Several explosions were reported in the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa at 10 p.m. local time almost immediately after an air raid alert went off in the region. Photos and videos published on social media and by the State Emergency Service showed a large warehouse on fire. Russia claimed the warehouse was a weapons storage facility, Nova Poshta said.The attack "destroyed not only our depot," but also 904 shipments "from online stores with clothes, appliances, children's toys, goodies for pets, medicines," and parcels from relatives, Nova Poshta said.The costs of the destroyed parcels will be compensated, according to the company.The attack injured 14 people, but none of the 18 employees working in the depot were among the casualties because they managed to reach the bomb shelter in time, Nova Poshta co-owner Volodymyr Popereshniuk said on Facebook.
