The warehouse containing Bosch products was completely destroyed. Warehouses belonging to Puma, Intertop, and Toyota were damaged. Among other losses, Toyota lost a warehouse of spare parts used for warranty servicing of vehicles. Russian propaganda immediately began spreading across social media – targeting both European and Ukrainian audiences – claiming that the warehouse strikes were supposedly retaliation for Ukraine’s attacks on Wildberries.
