Russian strike on Ukraine warehouse kills three

A Russian strike on a warehouse in Ukraine's northeastern Chernigiv region killed three people on Monday, local police said, the latest in a wave of Russian attacks aimed at Ukrainian logistics.

Since June, Russian strikes have destroyed or damaged dozens of warehouses and distribution centres in Ukraine, many of them supplying Ukraine's largest supermarket chains and retailers.

The strikes have led to shortages in some stores and prompted fears of price rises.

Ukrainian police did not give details about the business owner or weapon used in Monday's attack.

"Earlier today, Russian forces attacked the warehouses of an agricultural business in the town of Pryluky. Preliminary reports indicate three people were killed and seven wounded," Ukrainian police said.

An image published by police showed a mound of bricks and rubble in front of a building, its roof partially destroyed.

Russia did not immediately comment, but has in the past denied targeting civilian infrastructure.

Pryluky is a town of about 50,000 people some 120 kilometres (75 miles) east of Ukraine's capital Kyiv.

Both Moscow and Kyiv have intensified long-range strikes on each other in recent months, with diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the four-and-a-half-year war deadlocked.
