Russian ballistic missiles struck the Denka Logistics hub in Chaika near Kyiv on Wednesday night, destroying logistics facilities used by Puma and Intertop. Intertop said its long-running warehouse — which dispatched tens of thousands of orders daily — was obliterated; none of its or Puma’s employees were injured, but the wider attack killed 17 and wounded dozens. Both companies warned of inventory losses and possible delivery delays as they work to restore supply chains. The strikes follow Ukraine’s July 18 drone campaign against Wildberries in Russia, which reportedly destroyed 15–16% of that company’s storage capacity.
Russian Missile Strikes Obliterate Puma and Intertop Warehouses Near Kyiv
Russian Strikes Destroy Puma, Intertop Warehouses Near Kyiv
Russian ballistic missiles struck the Kyiv area on Wednesday night, destroying logistics facilities used by sportswear maker Puma and Ukrainian retailer Intertop in the village of Chaika, part of the Denka Logistics hub.
Intertop said its warehouse in the Denka Logistics Class A complex — operating continuously since 2009 and dispatching tens of thousands of orders daily across Ukraine — was destroyed within minutes. The company reported that none of its employees were injured, but said it lost a significant portion of inventory, infrastructure and equipment. Intertop warned that some deliveries may be delayed and that it will fully refund orders it cannot fulfill.
Puma confirmed its warehouse at the same Denka Logistics hub was also obliterated. The brand said it expects potential shortages of some Puma products in Ukraine "in the coming weeks and, likely, months" while it works to restore supply lines. Puma reported no staff injuries.
Casualties and Wider Impact
Authorities say the wider attack lasted roughly two hours and killed 17 people and wounded dozens across Kyiv and surrounding areas. The strikes have disrupted logistics capacity in the region and created short-term supply and delivery challenges for affected retailers.
Context: Cross-Border Logistics Strikes
The hits on Denka Logistics come amid a broader escalation of strikes targeting logistics hubs. On July 18, Ukraine launched a campaign of drone strikes against Wildberries warehouses and depots in several Russian regions, accusing the e-commerce company of supplying the Russian military with drone parts and other equipment. Those strikes reportedly destroyed an estimated 15–16% of Wildberries’ storage capacity, with damage estimates reaching up to $3.5 billion.
Commanders from Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces said that, over a recent three-week period, 13 of 15 major warehouses targeted have burned completely. Ukrainian forces also reported fresh waves of long-range drones striking deeper into Russian territory in the 48 hours preceding the Kyiv-area attacks as part of efforts to degrade the e-commerce giant’s distribution network.
Moving Forward
Both Puma and Intertop said they are assessing losses and working to restore operations and supply chains. Consumers in Ukraine should expect potential delays and temporary shortages for some products while recovery and rerouting efforts continue.
