Russian Strikes Hit Four Epicentr Retail Locations Across Ukraine

Russian attacks hit four Epicentr shopping centers in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, and Poltava over October 24–25, the Ukrainian retailer said. The company described the damage as “total destruction of the network,” but did not provide a full assessment or say when affected sites might reopen. In Poltava, a 52-year-old woman was injured and a fire broke out. Epicentr is one of Ukraine’s largest home-improvement and retail chains. The latest strikes add to earlier damage to the company’s facilities during the war.
