Details: The warehouse is located on Kyiv's left bank. It was empty at the time of the Russian strike. Early reports indicate that there were no casualties.

The same warehouse was previously targeted in autumn 2025. A Russian attack on Kyiv on 25 October 2025 destroyed Optima-Pharm's warehouse complex and office.

The company estimated its total losses from the destroyed warehouse and products at more than US$100 million.

In October 2025, Optima-Pharm representatives told Ekonomichna Pravda that the amount of products destroyed was equivalent to about 20% of Ukraine's entire monthly supply of medicines.
