Company officials said employees "had no chance" to run to the shelter because the sirens sounded "seconds before" the strike. The company declared Oct. 22 a day of remembrance for the victims of the Russian attack.“We will work and honor every fallen hero of Nova Poshta. Every person who died in this war,” the company said in a statement.
Local officials said two of the bodies would require DNA testing to identify them, as they were very badly burned.
The site of the Russian missile attack, the Kharkiv Innovation Terminal, which was badly damaged in the attack, was opened only in 2020.
