Puma
PUMA Ukraine said its logistics complex, which stored the brand’s products, was completely destroyed in the attack.
The German company confirmed that all members of its Ukrainian team were unharmed but warned customers that shortages of certain PUMA products could occur in the coming weeks and potentially months as supply chains recover.
According to the firm, work is already underway to restore deliveries and replenish inventory as quickly as possible.
LIQUI MOLY
The same overnight attack also destroyed the central warehouse of LIQUI MOLY Ukraine, a German company specializing in oils, lubricants and additives.
“Last night, as a result of an enemy strike, our central product warehouse in Ukraine was completely destroyed by fire,” the company said in a statement.
LIQUI MOLY confirmed that none of its employees were injured.
“Human life is priceless. The enemy destroyed tons of products, but it cannot destroy our team, our reputation, or our faith in Ukraine. We are not stopping for a single minute,” the company said.
The company added that it has already begun restoring supplies by reorganizing logistics operations and establishing new delivery routes.
Toyota
Toyota Ukraine also reported that its warehouse storing spare parts and related products in Kyiv was destroyed in the attack.
“Our team has already launched a comprehensive set of measures to restore logistics operations and ensure stable product deliveries to Toyota's dealer network in Ukraine. Alternative logistics solutions have been put in place to minimize the impact on customer service,” the statement read.
Toyota warned that the destruction of the warehouse may result in temporary delays in the supply of certain spare parts, accessories, lubricants, and other products.

Intertop
Separately, Intertop Ukraine reported that the Russian attack destroyed its primary logistics hub, the DENKA LOGISTICS Class A warehouse complex in the village of Chaiky, Kyiv region.
The facility served as the main logistics center for MTI Group.
According to the company, the destruction is extensive, although no employees were killed or injured.
Operational since 2009, DENKA LOGISTICS was one of Ukraine's largest and most advanced logistics hubs.
“Every day, thousands of pairs of shoes, clothing items, gadgets, and electronics were shipped from here to our stores and directly to our customers. This warehouse supported the operations of brands loved by millions of Ukrainians,” the company said.
Intertop said it is currently assessing the full extent of the damage, restructuring logistics processes, and plans to rebuild the destroyed complex.
Russia's overnight assault on Kyiv and the surrounding region killed 17 people and injured 44, as Russia launched 24 ballistic missiles and 115 drones targeting civilian infrastructure.
The strikes primarily hit commercial warehouses, logistics centers, critical infrastructure, and a railway station. Facilities operated by Epicentr, ROZETKA, Fozzy Group, and Nova Poshta were among those damaged.
