[It is] definitely not an accident, but a targeted strike,” the company stated, confirming that no employees were injured in the overnight bombardment. Despite the repeated attacks, the retailer reported that operations are continuing on schedule. The nighttime strike followed a deadly daytime attack on the same warehouse complex on Saturday morning, Aug. 1. During the initial strike, 270 employees were working on-site. The attack killed a 61-year-old company employee, identified as Volodymyr Melnychenko, and injured seven others, including one individual who remains in serious condition. Kyiv Regional Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko previously noted that the Saturday blast also damaged at least 12 vehicles on the premises. The repeated targeting of the Brovary logistics center occurred amid a massive weekend aerial bombardment. The initial strike on the warehouse coincided with a nationwide Russian assault early Saturday involving 35 missiles and 185 attack drones.
