In Kyiv's Obolon district, warehouse facilities belonging to Secur — the official distributor of Ajax and other global brands in the fields of security systems, energy saving, and smart home — caught fire as a result of a fresh Russian attack. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement from the company itself. According to emergency services, on the evening of September 10 a drone struck a building in the Obolon district, after which a fire broke out on the warehouse site, where rescue and emergency crews worked.
Impact on deliveries and customers
Secur reported that part of its stock was damaged as a result of the attack. Because of this, the company warns of possible temporary delays in processing and delivering certain orders. At the same time, the distributor emphasized that no shortage of security systems on the market is expected, and that the needs of customers and partners are planned to be met in full.
Crisis response plan and staff safety
The company has already developed and launched a crisis response plan, the details of which it promises to disclose in the near future. Secur also noted that, during the air raid alert, employees followed safety rules, so no one was injured. "The most important thing is that people are safe. The life and health of people have always been and remain our highest priority," the company's statement reads.
Who is Secur
Secur is a Ukrainian group of companies that has been operating in the security systems market since 2008. The brand includes several legal entities specializing in distribution, integration, and retail sales of equipment. The company supplies video surveillance, alarm, and access control systems, power sources, and smart home equipment, and also develops and installs security systems for businesses and government institutions. Secur's clients include Nova Poshta, Ukrzaliznytsia, Ajax, Ukrenergo, Darnytsia, and MHP.
Contradictory data
Initial reports of the overnight attack stated that a drone fell on a two-story building in the Obolon district, whereas subsequent updates and Secur's statement referred to a fire specifically in a warehouse facility. The difference in wording is due to the fact that the first reports recorded the drone's impact site, while the clarification about the warehouse nature of the facility appeared after emergency services worked on site. No significant discrepancies in the key facts — the damage to stock and the absence of casualties — have been recorded between sources.
Context: ongoing attacks on Kyiv
The attack on the Secur warehouses became part of the ongoing pressure on the capital: on September 11, Russian forces again struck Kyiv, including fuel stations in various districts of the city. The damage to the logistics infrastructure of a security distributor amid regular shelling underscores the vulnerability of supply chains for critical equipment serving the business and government sectors.
