Russia destroyed the Freken Bok warehouse in Dnipro using a drone
Late in the evening on August 3, a Russian drone struck a finished goods warehouse belonging to the “Biosphere” Corporation in Dnipro. The building, with an area of about 6,000 square meters, burned down completely, along with the products, warehouse machinery, and equipment. No one was injured, as employees were taking cover during the attack.
The strike occurred late in the evening on August 3. A Russian drone struck the finished goods warehouse of the Biosphere Corporation, where products from several brands were stored. These included, in particular, Smile, PRO Service, Novita, Vortex, Eventa, “LaiKit,” and “Freken Bok.”
A massive fire broke out in the warehouse after the strike. The fire quickly engulfed the building, and efforts by the State Emergency Service were unable to save it. “Fortunately, no one was injured—that’s the most important thing. At the time of the attack, the staff were taking shelter,” Biosphere reported.
As a result, the building, with an area of about 6,000 square meters, was completely destroyed. Finished products, warehouse machinery, and equipment were also burned. The company has not yet disclosed the exact amount of the losses. Experts are currently assessing the damage.
The company is restructuring its logistics
Despite the destruction of the warehouse, “Biosphere” stated that it continues to produce goods. The company’s team is working to restructure its logistics and reroute warehouse flows as quickly as possible. “Thanks to the team’s prompt actions, key business processes remain under control. Working around the clock, Biosphere’s management and team are working to reconfigure logistics, redistribute warehouse flows, and minimize the impact of the incident on the company’s operations,” the corporation stated.
At the same time, the company warned that the destruction of the warehouse could lead to delivery issues for certain goods. Partners and customers were asked to be understanding of possible changes in delivery times and volumes.
This is not the first attack on the company
Biosphere noted that this strike was the second in the past year and a half. On April 10 of last year, a Russian missile struck the “Biosphere Complex.” At that time, the facility also sustained damage, but the company managed to continue operations.
This time, the consequences were much more severe—one of the finished goods warehouses was completely destroyed by fire. At the same time, the corporation emphasizes that production has not stopped. The team is currently working to maintain stable operations and minimize the impact of the Russian attack on customers and partners, according to the company’s press service.
Casualties among the personnel of the Russian occupation forces in the full-scale war against Ukraine have begun to exceed the pace of mobilization efforts in the Russian Federation.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin signed a law expanding the list of individuals eligible to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense during mobilization, martial law, or wartime.
