Security guards at the Nova Poshta postal terminal in Kharkiv, which was struck by Russian missiles on the night of 13 January, initially prevented journalists from the regional media outlets Nakipilo and Dumki from gathering material at the site.

After this process was completed, all interested media were granted access to the site and were able to prepare their reports.
