Roshen confectionery warehouses on fire in Kyiv Oblast
Warehouses belonging to the Roshen confectionery corporation were set on fire due to a Russian drone attack in Kyiv Oblast.
On the night of February 6-7, warehouses owned by Roshen, a major Ukrainian confectionery company, caught fire in Kyiv Oblast, specifically in the city of Yahotyn, following a drone strike attributed to Russian forces. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine confirmed the incident, which was part of a larger offensive that targeted multiple regions across the country, including Khmelnytskyi, Rivne, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Lviv.
Local MP Oleksii Honcharenko, a member of the European Solidarity party, verified on social media that the affected facility is indeed associated with Roshen's operations and serves as a logistics centre for the company. The incident highlights the ongoing impact of the war on Ukrainian businesses and suggests that critical infrastructure is increasingly at risk due to military actions.
In the broader context, the drone attack indicates a continuation of Russian aggressions against Ukraine, raising concerns about the safety of civilian infrastructure and the potential for further economic damage. As the situation develops, the response from Ukrainian authorities and the implications for national security and business operations remain critical aspects to monitor.
