On 15 November, Russian forces hit a warehouse in Dnipro belonging to Optima-Pharm, the country's second largest pharmaceutical distributor. The facility was completely destroyed but none of the staff were injured.

A warehouse facility and an office belonging to Optima-Pharm were destroyed in a Russian attack on Kyiv on the night of 24-25 October, causing over US$100 million worth of damage. That attack also wiped out 20% of Ukraine's stock of medicines for the month.

Earlier, on 28 August 2025, a Russian missile attack damaged an Optima-Pharm pharmaceutical warehouse in Kyiv.

At the start of the full-scale invasion, the Russian forces also destroyed BaDM logistics complexes in Kyiv and Poltava oblasts.

Background: Russian forces launched a large-scale attack on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast overnight, causing fires and injuring a child. Ukrainian air defence forces have downed 40 Russian drones over the oblast since the evening.
