Russians struck one of Ukraine's largest pharmaceutical warehouses twice in a row, Universal logistic

Russian forces launched airstrikes on the Universal logistic warehouse in the Boryspil district of Kyiv region for two consecutive days. The attacks damaged the premises of one of the two largest pharmaceutical logistics complexes in Ukraine, with an area of 21 thousand square meters.

This was reported by Ekonomichna Pravda, citing a source in the pharmaceutical market.

What are the details of the enemy attack?

An EP interlocutor noted that the facility in the Boryspil district serves leading distributors that supply medicines to pharmacy chains across the country.

Due to continuous shelling and prolonged air raid alerts, suppliers are currently unable to remove stored goods from the complex's territory.

There is currently no information about wounded or killed as a result of the enemy attack.

Recall that on the evening of 12 September, the Kyiv Regional Military Administration officially confirmed the damage to warehouse premises in the Boryspil district.

The Universal logistic distribution center met the highest quality standards for storing pharmaceutical products and had a total warehouse area of 21 thousand square meters.

The struck facility is one of the two largest pharmaceutical logistics hubs in Ukraine. Another critical industry facility owned by Biocon was hit by a Russian strike on 3 September.

Situation with medicine supplies and systemic attacks

In some regions of the country there is already an increase in demand for certain groups of medicines, causing pharmacy stocks to decline, and available quantities in some facilities may be sufficient for only a few weeks.

However, the head of the State Expert Center of the Ministry of Health, Edem Adamanov, stated that the attacks on warehouses have not caused a systemic shortage, as pharmacy chains have reserves for one to two months.

Recall that we previously wrote that the enemy is systematically destroying civilian logistics: on 8 September ballistic missiles repeatedly struck the warehouses of distributor Optima-Pharm in Kyiv, and in early September they destroyed hundreds of tons of medicines of the Apteka Dobroho Dnya (Good Day Pharmacy) chain. In addition, WHO humanitarian facilities in Dnipro and near the capital have been hit by series of strikes.
