Another Russian shelling has caused damage to a large logistics facility in the Kyiv region. The enemy strike damaged the premises of a well-known distributor of animal goods.
This is stated in a company post on LinkedIn.
What is known about the attack's consequences?
We are talking about the company Suziria Group’s warehouse facilities covering more than 8 thousand square meters. In the night of Saturday, 19 September, this facility in Kyiv region suffered damage during the enemy attack.
The company representatives said that during the shelling the entire shift was in shelter. Thanks to this, there were no casualties or injuries among staff. Emergency services are currently at the scene, continuing to localize the fire.
After the fire is fully extinguished, specialists will carry out a detailed assessment of the damages.
The most important thing is that our people are safe,
— they noted in the company.
They also added that the aggressor state will not stop their activities, and the team is already preparing to restore full operations. Suziria Group has been operating in the Ukrainian market for over 30 years and owns the well-known MasterZoo pet-store network. The company not only serves the domestic market but also actively exports its own brands to 13 countries around the world.
Attacks on Ukrainian businesses
As a reminder, we previously reported that Russian forces systematically strike civilian enterprises. In particular, Russia recently attacked a warehouse belonging to security systems supplier Secur in Kyiv. Fortunately, no one was injured, as employees were in safe places.
Moreover, as a result of attacks by Russian strike drones in Kyiv, Imperial Brands’ tobacco factory was damaged. The enemy strike caused significant damage to production capacity and the enterprise’s infrastructure, and production is currently halted. Among employees there are no injuries.
A factory in Krivyi Rih was also hit, where two workers were killed as a result of the attack.
It is worth noting that the Ukrainian economy suffers daily large losses due to forced downtime of businesses during air raid alerts. According to the Minister of Economy and Environmental Protection 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. Just in the last week of August, they totaled more than 58 hours. The Cabinet of Ministers is currently seeking solutions to allow businesses to operate more flexibly during air raid alerts, including under the condition of having shelters.
