The strike comes amid reports of Russian attacks on warehouses storing medicines in Ukraine since the beginning of September, raising concerns about potential disruptions to pharmaceutical supplies.
Founded in 1994, BaDM began developing as a national pharmaceutical distributor in 1996. The company currently cooperates with more than 450 manufacturers and suppliers and offers approximately 15,000 products.
The company supplies medicines and other pharmaceutical products across Ukraine, making its warehouse network an important part of the country’s healthcare supply chain.
Separately, Russian forces struck the sorting center of EVA, a major Ukrainian cosmetics retailer, on September 13. The attack destroyed the building, according to the company.
EVA said the targeted sorting center supplied its stores in the Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions.
The latest attacks have highlighted the vulnerability of commercial logistics facilities and supply chains amid Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.
