Ukraine Embassy claims, Russian missile struck Indian pharma warehouse in Kyiv

A Russian missile struck the warehouse of an Indian pharmaceutical company in Kyiv, the Ukraine Embassy in India alleged on Saturday. It also claimed that Moscow "deliberately" targetted Indian businesses despite having a "special friendship" with New Delhi.

The warehouse that was targetted in the Russian strike belongs to Kusum, a major pharmaceutical company in India.

"Today, a Russian missile struck the warehouse of Indian pharmaceutical company Kusum in Ukraine. While claiming 'special



friendship' with India, Moscow deliberately targets Indian businesses - destroying medicines meant for children and the elderly," the Ukraine Embassy in India tweeted.

The Indian and Russian governments are yet to comment on the matter.

Martin Harris, the UK's ambassador to Ukraine, also claimed that Russian strikes destroyed a "major pharma's warehouse in Kyiv". However, his post did not mention whether the warehouse belongs to Kusum and also said the attack was carried out by Russian drones and not a missile.
