A Russian ballistic missile is reported by the Ukrainian textile manufacturer to have struck its Kyiv production site overnight, causing extensive damage, according to the company founder.

What happened

According to New Voice Ukraine, Ukrainian textile manufacturer TK-Domashniy Tekstyl reported that a Russian ballistic missile struck its main production facility and logistics warehouse in Kyiv overnight on September 24. Oleksandr Sokolovskyi, founder of Textile-Kontakt Group, stated the strike caused extensive damage to the site.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. The report comes amid continued hostilities in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and adds to the pattern of strikes affecting civilian industrial infrastructure in Kyiv. However, the source does not provide independent confirmation of the strike or casualty figures associated with the event.

The targeting of this facility, if confirmed, may have implications for Ukraine’s domestic production capabilities and logistics, potentially disrupting supply chains for textiles. Such incidents also highlight the risks faced by industrial sites within conflict zones.
