On September 25, 2026, Russian forces launched a targeted attack on the logistics infrastructure of the Ukrainian capital, completely destroying the central warehouse of the well-known "Sushiya" Japanese restaurant chain. The powerful strike and the massive fire that followed wiped out not only the distribution center building itself, but also absolutely all inventory, food supplies, and specialized packaging stored there.
Scale of Destruction and Business Impact
Representatives of the "Sushiya" restaurant chain's press service officially confirmed the tragic incident via their official Threads page. According to the company's management, the damage is colossal as the fire destroyed the entire material and technical storage base. Management expressed deep and sincere condolences to their logistics partners, whose infrastructure also suffered during this destructive wave of shelling.
Restaurant Operations and Recovery Plans
Despite the severe losses and complete destruction of the warehouse facilities, the chain's management stated that all "Sushiya" restaurants continue to operate as usual, and the delivery service is accepting orders and waiting for every guest. The company is mobilizing all internal resources to restore supply chains in the shortest possible time, replenish necessary ingredient stocks, and guarantee uninterrupted preparation of favorite dishes for visitors.
General Context of Logistics Strikes in the Region
It is worth noting that the attack on the "Sushiya" warehouse is not an isolated episode of targeted pressure on the retail and warehouse infrastructure of Kyiv and the region. On September 25, a large logistics center of the McDonald's company in the Kyiv region was subjected to a similar drone strike. In addition, severe damage was recorded at the main production and warehouse facilities of "TK-Domashniy Tekstil", indicating a systemic pattern of strikes against supply chains.
