Repeated attacks on pharmaceutical infrastructure
This is not the first instance of targeted destruction of ‘Optima-Pharm’ infrastructure — in late August, Russian forces also attacked the company’s storage facilities. ‘Optima-Pharm’ ranks second among pharmaceutical distributors in Ukraine after ‘BaDM’ and has been operating in the market for over three decades.

In addition, in Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, Russian forces struck again at a wind turbine that had previously been targeted — a similar attack occurred on the evening of October 22.
