Russian missile strikes level offices and warehouses of major Ukrainian book publishers
Russian ballistic missiles destroyed the offices and warehouses of two prominent Ukrainian book publishers, Nash Format and Laboratory, during an overnight attack on Kyiv on August 16, the companies announced in separate statements.
On the night of August 16, Russian ballistic missiles struck the offices and warehouses of two major Ukrainian book publishers, Nash Format and Laboratory, in Kyiv. Nash Format's statement indicated that the attack destroyed parts of several office walls, damaged ceilings, and scattered or destroyed furniture, though no employees were injured.
The company urged support by purchasing their books instead of launching a separate fundraiser for restoration. Laboratory's founder, Anton Martynov, reported that the strike damaged their office and warehouse near the Pochaina metro station and a nearby book market. The company will experience delayed shipments as they continue to fulfill orders from unaffected regional hubs.
The attack on the Pochaina book market destroyed multiple rows of bookseller stalls and incinerated vendors' inventories, severely impacting the culturally significant landmark.
