On the night of September 2, 2026, the central warehouse of the OKWINE chain and the Wine Hunters distributor in Kyiv was completely destroyed as a result of another enemy strike. This was reported by OKWINE's press service on Facebook, as cited by RBC-Ukraine. The company emphasized that this is already the second hit on the facility: the first strike came about two months ago, in July, and the chain had only just begun to recover from it. As OKWINE noted, the "neighbors" are destroying everything that Ukrainians and Ukrainian businesses build, and their warehouse was destroyed by a Russian strike. ### Chronicle of the repeat strike and the state of the facility According to RBC-Ukraine, on September 2 the occupiers struck a warehouse building in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district. Photos from the scene show the scale of the destruction: deformed and charred facade panels, breaches in the walls, piles of rubble on the premises, and an orange barrier cordon. The company assured that, fortunately, no one on the team was injured. Nevertheless, the warehouse, which was supposed to become the logistical core of the chain, has been completely destroyed, which calls into question the previous storage and shipping volumes of goods. ### The company's position: a call for customer support OKWINE thanked its customers for their support in July, after the first strike, and candidly warned that "without your support, we may not be able to cope this time around." The company urged buyers to purchase their favorite wines and spirits, as well as those saved after the first strike, keeping them "as part of history and a symbol of invincibility." In this way, the business publicly ties its own survival to consumer demand amid repeated attacks on infrastructure. ### Broader context: a series of strikes on Kyiv's warehouse logistics The strike on the OKWINE warehouse was not an isolated incident. According to RBC-Ukraine, on September 1, warehouse facilities in Bucha district were damaged by a Russian strike, and a fire broke out there after the attack. In addition, the "Planeta Plastyk" plant in Irpin, Kyiv Oblast, suspended production indefinitely, citing a deterioration in the security situation in the region. Taken together, these events point to a sustained trend of strikes on warehouse and production facilities in the suburbs and the capital, hitting supply chains and local production. ### Contradictory data Sources disagree on the type of weapon used. RBC-Ukraine and some materials describe the September 2 strike on the warehouse building in Holosiivskyi district as carried out by drones, whereas the headline of a biz.liga.net article characterizes the event as a "Russian missile strike." The type of facility is also described differently across publications (chain warehouse, distributor, central warehouse). The fact of the destruction of the OKWINE/Wine Hunters warehouse and the absence of casualties is confirmed by the company's own statement and by several media outlets, however, the exact type of weapon used and the final technical details remain inconsistent across sources. ### What this means for the chain and the market The repeated destruction of a key warehouse facility in a short period deprives the chain of its main storage and increases the risks to supply continuity. OKWINE's public appeal to customers effectively shifts part of the operational risk onto consumer demand: without active demand for the saved and new products, the company may not be able to recover. For the broader market, this is yet another signal that strikes on the warehouse logistics of Kyiv and the region are becoming a systemic factor affecting the operation of FMCG and wine retail. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [OKWINE and Wine Hunters warehouse destroyed for the second time due to a Russian attack](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/sklad-okwine-ta-wine-hunters-vdruge-zruynovano-1788352776.html) - Подтверждает повторный характер удара, заявление пресс-службы OKWINE и отсутствие пострадавших. - [Second time in two months: Russian attack destroyed the central warehouse of the Okwine and Wine Hunters chain](https://delo.ua/ru/news/vtoroi-raz-za-dva-mesyaca-rossiiskaya-ataka-unictozila-centralnyi-sklad-seti-okwine-i-wine-hunters-471765/) - Совпадает по хронологии (второй удар за два месяца) и статусу объекта. - [We had just recovered from the strike: Russia destroyed a new Okwine warehouse](https://24tv.ua/economy/ru/sklad-okwine-razrushen-v-rezultate-obstrela-kak-jeto-povlijaet-na-rabotu-seti_n3134546) - Подтверждает, что сеть только восстанавливалась после первого удара. - [Russian missile strike destroyed the central warehouse of OKWINE and the Wine Hunters distributor](https://biz.liga.net/fmcg/news/raketnyi-udar-rf-unichtozhil-tsentralnyi-sklad-okwine-i-distribyutora-wine-hunters) - Подтверждает разрушение, но характеризует удар как ракетный, в отличие от версии с беспилотниками — расхождение отражено в статье. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: When and where was the OKWINE and Wine Hunters warehouse destroyed? **A:** On the night of September 2, 2026, the chain's central warehouse in Kyiv was completely destroyed as a result of an enemy strike (according to RBC-Ukraine, in the Holosiivskyi district). ### Q: Is this the first strike on this warehouse? **A:** No. According to OKWINE's statement and media reports, this is the second strike on the facility in two months; the first came in approximately July 2026. ### Q: Are there any injured employees? **A:** No. OKWINE clarified that no one on the team was injured. ### Q: What is the company asking of its customers? **A:** OKWINE thanked its customers for their support in July and urged them to keep buying their favorite wines and spirits, as well as those saved after the first strike, to help the chain recover. ### Q: What is known about other strikes on warehouse facilities? **A:** On September 1, warehouse facilities in Bucha district were damaged, followed by a fire, and the "Planeta Plastyk" plant in Irpin halted production indefinitely due to deteriorating security conditions.
