A warehouse storing goods for listed Polish fashion retailer LPP was destroyed during a Russian drone and missile attack on Lviv overnight, the company said on October 3, adding that the loss would not disrupt its Ukrainian business.

“There were only small quantities of our products in the warehouse. This has no major significance for servicing the Ukrainian market,” LPP’s PR manager Monika Wszeborowska said, according to money.pl. She added that nobody was injured.

The facility, located in Lviv’s Sparrow industrial park, belonged to one of LPP’s logistics partners. According to Lviv’s mayor Andriy Sadovyi, four people were killed and four others wounded in what he described as Russia’s largest attack on the city, which lies only some 70 kilometres east of the Polish border.

LPP also said cooperation with multiple logistics providers meant it had storage space elsewhere, ensuring deliveries to Ukrainian stores would continue without interruption. “The incident will not affect the company’s business operations,” Wszeborowska said.

The company also said it had no plans to leave Ukraine. “We are aware we operate in a difficult market, so we have prepared for various scenarios,” Wszeborowska said.

Ukraine's western Lviv region suffered intense attacks by Russia over the weekend. Lviv city council said in a statement that Russia launched 78 drones and 12 missiles targeting Lviv during an overnight attack that left a family of four dead, and dozens of houses, schools and kindergartens destroyed.

Gdańsk-based LPP owns five clothing brands: Reserved, Cropp, House, Mohito, and Sinsay. In the 2024 fiscal year, the group reported consolidated revenue of PLN20.2bn (€4.6bn).

LPP plans to expand its retail network to 4,400 outlets by the end of 2025, up from 2,847 in January this year, and has earmarked PLN3.5bn for the programme. Earlier this month, the group opened its first Sinsay store in Azerbaijan and intends to launch around eight by year-end.

“Azerbaijan follows Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in our expansion into promising markets of Central Asia and the Caucasus. Its strategic position between Eastern Europe and Western Asia offers a great opportunity to grow in this dynamic region,” LPP said. Azerbaijan is now the 44th market where LPP brands operate.
