Details: Epicentr said Russian forces had struck the facility ten times in a single day. The attacks triggered five fires.
Quote: "In the end, the enemy achieved its goal: the fire destroyed around 85% of the goods stored inside. Around 30 drones in the sky prevented us from putting out the fire. Most importantly, all our people are alive."
Details: Epicentr noted that Russian forces had previously completely destroyed its two largest logistics complexes, in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast. The distribution centre in Khmelnytskyi had effectively been the company's only remaining large warehouse complex to survive.
Epicentr stressed that it had lost more than just goods. Its logistics network has been destroyed, the losses are enormous and the salaries and jobs of thousands of people are now at risk.
Background: Russian forces attacked industrial facilities in Khmelnytskyi and Shepetivka districts on 13 October.
