This was reported on August 30, 2026, by RBC-Ukraine, citing an official statement from the company’s press service. In its address to customers, the company stated: “Dear customers, we are forced to inform you that as a result of an enemy attack, our company has suffered significant losses. Accordingly, the production and delivery of water have been temporarily suspended.” No specific timeline for resuming operations was given at the time of publication. ### Timeline of the August 28 Attack The cause of the production shutdown was a Russian attack carried out on the evening of August 28, 2026. According to available data, Russian military forces struck targets in Bucha District of Kyiv Oblast with drones, including warehouses in the village of Myla. A fire that broke out after the impact was accompanied by a series of explosions and a subsequent detonation, which significantly worsened the scale of the destruction. In addition to the warehouse facilities, residential houses and a sanatorium were damaged as a result of the strike. A large-scale evacuation of the civilian population has been carried out at the scene. ### Casualties and Scale of Destruction As of August 30, the death of 38 people has been confirmed, with dozens injured, including children. The exact number of casualties, according to data at the time the article was prepared, may be revised as search and rescue operations are completed. Damage to residential houses and the sanatorium in the village of Myla makes it impossible for some local residents to live there, which further complicates logistics and the restoration of infrastructure in the district. ### Response from the Security Service of Ukraine The Security Service of Ukraine has opened a criminal case on the facts of the Russian strike on the warehouses in the village of Myla in Bucha District. The episode of the secondary detonation, which occurred during firefighting, is being investigated separately. The agency does not disclose details of the investigation; however, the fact of opening a case indicates that the incident is being classified as a deliberate attack on civilian infrastructure. ### Impact on the Drinking Water Market The suspension of operations at the “Clean Water” enterprise may place additional pressure on the local market of bottled drinking water in Kyiv Oblast and the adjacent regions. Judging by the branding on the product (the “CV / Clearwater” logo), the company serves both retail and corporate customers. In the absence of an announced timeline for resuming production, the company’s consumers and partners are forced to seek alternative sources of supply. At the time of publication, the company’s representatives did not comment on the volume of lost production capacity or the stock of reserves that may have been damaged as a result of the detonation. ### What Is Known at This Point As of August 30, 2026, the company “Clean Water” has not published any plans to restore production. The timeline for resuming water deliveries to customers has not been determined. In Bucha District, work is ongoing to eliminate the aftermath of the attack, evacuate residents of damaged houses, and conduct an investigation by the SBU. RBC-Ukraine is monitoring the situation and promises to update information on the consequences of the strike as data becomes available. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Company “Clean Water” halts production and deliveries after Russian attack on Kyiv Oblast](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/kompaniya-chista-voda-zupinila-virobnitstvo-1788078263.html) - Прямое заявление пресс-службы компании через РБК-Украина.
