In a missile strike by Russian occupiers on Odesa on Monday morning, a warehouse belonging to a major retail chain was destroyed.

According to the press service of the Ukrainian Council of Shopping Centers, the warehouse belonged to the local retailer Tavria V.

Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported on its Telegram channel that a large fire broke out in the 3,000 square meter warehouse after the shelling, which was extinguished around noon.

This is not the first time the retailer's warehouses have been hit. On June 14, 2023, an enemy missile struck the food warehouse of the Tavria V network in Odesa.

Tavria V declined to comment to Interfax-Ukraine at this time.
