The Fahrenheit clothing company suspended operations indefinitely after Russian forces damaged its production facility during a massive overnight attack on Kyiv on 17 June. The strike hit the factory where the company manufactures clothing and underwear for civilians and military personnel.
"We are forced to report that due to another barbaric attack by Russia, our production was damaged," the company announced on Facebook. "The blow fell on the place where we have been creating clothes for everyone for years, including for our military."
The attack forced Fahrenheit to cancel all current orders and halt acceptance of new ones for an indefinite period, according to the company's statement.
The June 17 strike was part of what authorities called "one of the most extensive bombardments in recent months," killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens more across Ukraine. According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the attack involved more than 440 drones and 32 missiles launched overnight, targeting multiple oblasts including Kyiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, and Kyiv oblasts.
Kyiv authorities confirmed 14 fatalities and more than 100 injuries in the capital by 9:30 am. In Odesa, regional administration reported one person killed and 17 injured during the bombardment.
The attack on Fahrenheit represents another blow to Ukrainian businesses supporting the war effort. The company's facility produced essential clothing items for the Armed Forces of Ukraine alongside civilian garments.
