On February 13, Odesa experienced a Russian drone attack that led to the destruction of a major Stellantis car dealership. The attack sparked a massive fire that spread across an area of 2,000 square meters, affecting not only the dealership but also nearby vehicles and an energy facility. Eyewitness accounts detail the extensive damage, highlighting that numerous cars were consumed by the flames and that the fire nearly obliterated the dealership's showrooms.

The Auto Consulting information and analysis group noted that the Adis-Avto dealership has been a fixture in Odesa for many years, indicating the long-standing presence of businesses that are now under threat due to ongoing conflict. While local emergency services reported the incident, efforts to confirm details with Stellantis' representative office in Ukraine are still pending. This underscores the complexities faced by businesses operating in a war zone and the economic ramifications of such attacks.

This incident reflects a growing trend of targeting civilian infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. As drone warfare has become increasingly prevalent, the implications for businesses and the local economy in conflict zones can be catastrophic, leading to potential losses for both the affected companies and their employees. The attack on the Adis-Avto car dealership represents not just a blow to local commerce but also highlights the wider impacts of war on civilian life and stability in Ukraine.
