Details: "This morning, as a result of a Russian attack, our distribution centre in Brovary, which serves EVA stores and the EVA.UA online shop, was hit," the company's Facebook page states.

"Based on the information we have at this time, no one was injured. Firefighters are continuing to extinguish the fire. We thank them for their work," the company said.

It is currently impossible to accurately assess the scale of the damage. Both the EVA.UA warehouse and the warehouse from which goods are supplied to stores were likely affected, the statement says.

"As a result, some products may be temporarily unavailable in some stores, and the fulfilment of certain online orders may be delayed. We are already working to minimise any inconvenience," EVA warned.
