On August 29, 2026, the distribution center of the Dnipro-M retail chain in Kyiv sustained damage as a result of a Russian attack. This was announced by the company itself in an official statement on Facebook, which was cited by the RBC-Ukraine outlet. Dnipro-M confirmed that the facility "came under enemy fire," but emphasized that all employees are safe and there are no casualties.
Company statement and current status of the facility
Dnipro-M's press service stated that the company is "recovering from the strike" and is taking all necessary measures to resume normal operations of the logistics hub. The statement underscores that the safety of personnel is the top priority, and this fact was named the "most important" point in the message to customers. The company does not disclose details about the scale of physical damage to the building and equipment, limiting itself to a general reference to "damage."
Impact on customers and delivery times
In connection with the incident, Dnipro-M has warned customers of possible minor delays in product delivery. At the same time, the company assured that it is doing everything possible so that customers "barely notice" the disruption. According to the press service, if necessary, customers will be contacted personally and the company will "make sure everything is resolved." Specific timelines for restoring the full logistics cycle are not given in the statement.
Context: a series of strikes on logistics infrastructure
The attack on the Dnipro-M distribution center became part of a series of strikes on warehouse and logistics facilities over the past 24 hours. On the night of August 31, Russia struck a VARUS chain warehouse in Kyiv Oblast — there were no casualties, and warehouse premises were affected. In the Bровary district, in the village of Pohreby near Kyiv, warehouse premises caught fire. In addition, according to Odesa Regional Military Administration head Oleksandr Prudnikov, an enemy strike hit a terminal of the "Nova Poshta" logistics company, after which a fire broke out at the facility. The totality of these incidents points to a deliberate character of the attacks on infrastructure that ensures trade turnover and supply.
Contradictory data
There is a discrepancy in assessing the extent of the damage between publications by different outlets. RBC-Ukraine and the company Dnipro-M in its statement use the phrasings "damage" and "came under fire," which implies partial damage. At the same time, the headline of the publication on delo.ua reads: "Russian strike destroyed the Dnipro-M distribution center in Kyiv," which implies the total loss of the facility. The outlet biz.nv.ua, for its part, writes that the center is "damaged" and the company is "resuming operations." Thus, the version of the complete destruction of the facility is not confirmed by the company's own statement, which speaks of recovery rather than rebuilding. The exact scale of the damage remains unclear at the time of publication.
As of the preparation of this material (August 31, 2026), Dnipro-M continues to operate in recovery mode. Customers of the chain are advised to follow the company's official channels for up-to-date information on order delivery times.
