Metro hypermarket hit and set ablaze in Russian raid on Mykolaiv

A Russian strike hit a Metro hypermarket in Mykolaiv on the evening of September 8, sparking a fire on the roof and scattering debris across the grounds. Local residents described hearing loud explosions and watching flames spread across the store from nearby apartments.

The strike adds to a lengthening list of commercial and logistics sites hit by Russian forces in recent weeks, including warehouses belonging to EKO Market, Varus, Fora, and an Epicentr hypermarket in Chernihiv Oblast. Metro Ukraine had already lost inventory in a separate late-August raid and had warned of possible stock shortages.
