On October 25, 2026, Russian forces continued their attacks on the 'Epicenter' hypermarket chain, striking four cities in Ukraine: Kharkiv, Poltava, Vinnytsia, and Zaporizhzhia.
Details of the Attacks
According to the company, the strikes occurred overnight, leading to significant destruction. The company stated that there is a "total destruction of the network." This is not the first attack on 'Epicenter', as a hypermarket in Kryvyi Rih was also destroyed earlier in the summer.
Company's Response
In light of these events, representatives of 'Epicenter' expressed their outrage and called on the international community to pay attention to these acts of aggression. They emphasized that such actions not only cause economic damage but also endanger the lives of civilians.
What’s Next?
It is expected that the company will take measures to restore the operation of its stores, but the situation remains tense for now. The Ukrainian authorities continue to work on ensuring the safety of the population amid the ongoing war.
