Russian forces struck Epicentr retail locations in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, and Poltava within 24 hours, according to company officials and regional authorities. Epicentr's PR head, Yuliia Chudnovets, detailed the attacks on social media, describing it as a coordinated campaign targeting the destruction of the retail network's infrastructure.
The strikes unfolded rapidly, with a drone attack in Poltava igniting a fire and injuring a 52-year-old woman, while a missile strike in Kharkiv resulted in a 39-year-old man's injuries and extensive damage. Additional attacks hit Zaporizhzhia and Vinnytsia, damaging commercial facilities and infrastructure. Ukrainian officials and retailers argue that these strikes serve no military purpose and only hinder efforts to rebuild post-war Ukraine.
