Another Russian strike caused destruction on the grounds of a large logistics facility in the capital region. The enemy strike damaged the premises of a well-known distributor of pet products.
This was reported in the company's post on LinkedIn.
What is known about the consequences of the attack?
The report concerns the warehouse facilities of Suziria Group covering more than 8 thousand square meters. On the night of Saturday, 19 September, this facility in the Kyiv region was damaged during an enemy attack.
Company representatives said that during the shelling the entire shift was in shelter. Thanks to this, casualties and injuries among staff were avoided. Emergency services are currently working at the impact site and continue to contain the fire.
After the fire is completely extinguished, specialists will conduct a detailed assessment of the damage.
The most important thing is that our people are safe,
– the company said.
They also added that the aggressor state will not stop their operations, and the team is already preparing to restore full work. Suziria Group has been operating in the Ukrainian market for more than 30 years and owns the well-known MasterZoo pet store chain. The company not only supplies the domestic market but also actively exports its own brands to 13 countries worldwide.
Attacks on Ukrainian business
Recall that we previously wrote that Russian forces systematically strike civilian enterprises. In particular, Russia recently attacked a warehouse of the security systems supplier Secur in Kyiv. Fortunately, there were no casualties because employees were in safe locations.
In addition, a tobacco factory of Imperial Brands in Kyiv was damaged as a result of an attack by Russian strike drones. The enemy strike caused significant damage to the company's production facilities and infrastructure, and production is currently halted. There are no injured employees among the staff.
A plant in Kryvyi Rih was also hit, where two workers were killed as a result of the attack.
It is worth noting that the Ukrainian economy suffers large daily losses due to forced business downtime during air raid alerts. According to Minister of Economy and Environment Oleksandr Kravchenko, one hour of downtime can cost the economy from 1 to 2 billion hryvnias, and on some days the duration of alerts reaches 20 hours. In the last week of August alone, their total exceeded 58 hours. The Cabinet is currently looking for a solution that will allow businesses to operate more flexibly during air raid alerts, in particular when shelters are available.
