Fora supermarket warehouse damaged in Russian attack in Kyiv region

A Fora supermarket warehouse in the Kyiv region was severely damaged during a recent Russian attack, according to the company's press service. Fortunately, no one was injured as the team had already evacuated the staff prior to the attack. The incident occurred at a warehouse in Martusivka, which was storing fresh produce. The company had only recently begun utilizing this warehouse following a previous attack on its logistics infrastructure.

Fora is currently working to reroute logistics and find solutions to ensure that customers can still access their favorite products. The company emphasized the importance of maintaining the trust of its customers, especially given the repeated attempts to disrupt its operations. "They’re trying to stop us for the second time in a very short period," the company stated.

The Russian attack on August 5 had already caused fires at four distribution centers belonging to the Fozzy Group, which supplies goods to Silpo, THRASH, and Fora stores. Six employees lost their lives in that incident. The losses for the Fora chain, a part of the Fozzy Group, resulting from the destruction of the warehouse and inventory in the latest attack are estimated to be UAH 1.15 billion. The Fozzy Group had planned to restore the chains' normal product range in stores by August 24.
