Russian occupation forces struck the warehouse of one of Ukraine's leading pharmaceutical distributors — the company "BaDM" — located in Odesa. According to available data, the facility is situated on the outskirts of the city in the Khadyibei district. As a result of the attack, a fire broke out at the warehouse, but reportedly there were no casualties. The company itself did not disclose further details about the strike or its consequences.
What is known about the aftermath of the attack
According to the outlet "Evropravda," citing its own sources, a fire broke out as a result of the strike on the "BaDM" warehouse in the Khadyibei district of Odesa. According to the same data, no casualties were recorded as a result of the attack. The management of "BaDM" LLC did not publicly confirm or deny the scale of the damage, limiting itself to stating that it would not disclose details of the incident. Thus, the exact extent of damage to the warehouse premises and stockpiles remains unknown at the time of publication.
Who is "BaDM" and why the strike on it is significant
"BaDM" LLC is one of the key distributors of pharmaceutical products in Ukraine. The company was founded in 1994, and by 1996 it had begun developing as a national distributor, signing contracts with international pharmaceutical companies. Today, "BaDM" cooperates with more than 450 manufacturers and suppliers, and its range comprises around 15,000 items. A strike on such a logistics hub potentially affects drug supply chains, making the incident significant not only for the enterprise itself but also for the supply of medicines to the region.
Second strike within 24 hours: EVA network's sorting center
In addition to the attack on the "BaDM" warehouse, it became known that on September 13 the occupiers carried out a missile strike on the sorting center of the EVA cosmetics retail chain. As a result of the attack, the building was destroyed. EVA emphasized that the hit sorting center supplied stores in Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson oblasts, meaning its destruction hits the supply logistics of three regions at once.
Context: attacks on civilian infrastructure
Both incidents — the strike on the pharmaceutical warehouse and on the cosmetics chain's sorting center — demonstrate a persistent trend of targeting civilian and logistics infrastructure in southern Ukraine. Strikes on warehouses and distribution centers, even in the absence of reported casualties, can disrupt supply chains for essential and everyday goods, intensifying economic and social pressure on the border regions.
