Russian attack damages EKO Market warehouse near Kyiv

On August 20, a warehouse belonging to Ukrainian supermarket chain EKO Market sustained damage during Russia's massive attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region. The company announced the incident on Facebook, emphasizing the relief that all employees remained unharmed. EKO Market further noted that their supermarkets continued to operate normally, vowing to ensure customers have access to necessary products.

The scale of Russia's assault on Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast was immense, employing dozens of ballistic missiles, strike drones, and Kalibr cruise missiles. The targeted areas included Kyiv, Brovary, and Boryspil. The human cost of the attack was significant, with at least 17 people losing their lives and over 40 sustaining injuries.

The damage extended beyond EKO Market, with supermarket chain Varus reporting strikes on their warehouses in Boryspil. Additionally, a warehouse complex operated by French logistics firm FM Logistic Group in the village of Dudarkiv and warehouses of Fora (a part of Fozzy Group) in the village of Martusivka near Boryspil also suffered damage. Other companies, such as Yves Rocher Ukraine and ice cream producer Faini Liody, similarly reported harm to their respective warehouses.
