Kyiv: A Russian drone strike on the Ukrainian online retailer warehouse Rozetka in the Kyiv region killed one employee and injured seven others on Saturday, the company co-owner Iryna Chechotkina claimed. In a statement on the US social media platform Facebook, she said about 270 employees were working at the warehouse when it was hit.

According to Anadolu Agency, Chechotkina expressed condolences to the family of the deceased, emphasizing the irreplaceable loss of life. "Unfortunately, nothing will bring a person back to life. All our thoughts and condolences are with the family," Chechotkina said. She reassured stakeholders that the company will continue its operations and that efforts will be made to rebuild and restore the damaged infrastructure.

The incident highlights the ongoing tensions and conflict in the region. Russia has not yet commented on the recent claims, and independent verification remains difficult due to the ongoing war. The attack has raised concerns about the safety of civilians and infrastructure amidst the conflict.
