A warehouse complex of the Varus supermarket chain in Dnipro was damaged in a Russian attack on September 10, with part of its stock saved, the chain's press service said.

"The enemy attacked Dnipro again yesterday evening. The strike damaged a Varus warehouse that was already damaged back in the spring. Most importantly, our employees were not hurt," the company said on its Facebook page.

According to the statement, part of the goods were saved thanks to the prompt work of emergency services.

"We're already loading this stock and taking it to supermarket shelves. So if you happen to catch a faint smoky smell from the packaging, don't be surprised — that's the real scent of our shared resilience," Varus said.

As reported, a Varus supermarket in Kyiv's Solomiansky district was damaged in an enemy attack on Kyiv on September 8. In addition, a Varus warehouse in Kyiv region was damaged on August 31, and a warehouse belonging to the "Kolo" chain, which Varus operates, was damaged on August 27.
