A missile from the Russian overnight assault struck an ATB supermarket chain warehouse, triggering a fire that has since been extinguished, local Telegram channel reported on 20 September.
On the night of 19-20 September, Russian forces attacked Dnipro, damaging a high-rise building during a large-scale combined attack on the city. Casualty figures from the broader attack have risen to 30 people, with 12 currently hospitalized, according to Oblast Governor Serhii Lysak.
"One of the rockets during the shelling of Dnipro hit our warehouse. A fire broke out, which has now been extinguished, and several company trucks were damaged. Fortunately, none of the employees were injured," Serhiy Demchenko, head of corporate communications at ATB Corporation, said.
The warehouse fire was contained by emergency services, though the attack damaged multiple commercial vehicles belonging to the company, according to Demchenko's statement to Chas Pik.
The warehouse strike occurred during Russia's massive overnight assault on Ukraine that deployed 619 drones and missiles, with Ukrainian forces reporting 583 intercepted or suppressed, according to the provided information. The attack also targeted residential areas, with Russian forces hitting a multi-story apartment building in Dnipro during the same bombardment.
Ukrainian forces responded by striking strategic targets in Russia's Saratov and Samara oblasts during the night of 20 September.
