Russian Missile Strike Destroys Fire Safety Production Facility

A Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile strike destroyed the warehouse and production facilities of Ukrainian fire safety conglomerate 0112.Group in the early hours of Tuesday, Feb. 3.

The attack, which occurred around 2 a.m., triggered a massive fire that leveled the plant, though the company said no staff members were injured.

The strike caused a total loss of the company’s property, including specialized machinery, raw materials, and finished fire extinguisher stock. The company said the facility supported civil safety infrastructure, providing fire protection services for residential complexes and large industrial plants.

While the group is headquartered in central Ukraine’s Dnipro with a branch office in Kyiv, the exact locations of the destroyed warehouses were not disclosed, and open-source searches yielded no results.

The strike occurred during a broader overnight assault on Feb. 3, when Russian forces targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia.

The company said restoration work is ongoing despite the total loss.

“This was not just a strike on a business – it was a strike on a production facility that worked for the safety of others, on our team, and on civilian infrastructure. Currently, we are assessing the damage and working on the restoration of activities,” the company said on Facebook.

The Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs (SUP), of which 0112.Group is a member, expressed solidarity with the company following the attack. The association told Kyiv Post in a comment that the group holds a 40% market share.
