Comfy and "House of Toys" warehouses were hit by a Russian strike 27 August. The retail chains reported this on their Facebook pages.
- The morning is difficult, but, it seems, quite predictable for Ukrainian business in recent weeks. Today a Russian drone deliberately struck our distribution center in the Kyiv region, — said Comfy CEO Hennadiy Verbylenko.
He noted that the network's employees were not injured. According to him, the team was protected by pre-prepared shelters.
Verbylenko emphasized that Comfy continues to operate. The chain also sent a planned donation to support the Defense Forces and air defense: two million hryvnias to the "Sternenko Community" fund and two and a half million hryvnias to the "Serhiy Prytula Fund."
The "House of Toys" network reported that, as a result of the Russian attack, a distribution center was destroyed — a place where a significant portion of their toys were stored and from which goods were sent to stores across Ukraine every day. The network's team was not injured.
- Some already processed orders may arrive later than planned. For paid orders that we have to cancel, customers will be refunded. Our offline stores continue to operate, and the website is still accepting new orders, — the network said.
Since the beginning of August, Russia has regularly attacked warehouses of Ukrainian businesses, including near Kyiv. During this time logistics centers of Rozetka, Fozzy Group, Intertop, Puma, Novus, Toyota, Bosch and other companies have been affected.
At night Russia attacked Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones. Russia also attacked the capital with drones all day on Thursday, causing train delays.
For the first time in a long while, the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported shooting down ballistic missiles that Russia used to attack Ukraine. At night on 27 August, air defense suppressed seven "Iskander-M/KN-23" ballistic missiles.
