New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
A Russian missile struck the warehouse of an Indian pharmaceutical company in Kyiv, Ukraine said today. The country’s embassy in India alleged Russia “deliberately” targeted Indian businesses in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
“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,” Ukraine’s embassy said.<\/p>\n
Kusum, owned by Indian businessman Rajiv Gupta, is among the largest pharma firms in Ukraine. The company’s products are critical across Ukraine as they ensure availability of basic medicines, sources told NDTV. They said a drone, not a missile, made a direct hit on the warehouse.<\/p>\n
Before Kyiv’s post, Britain’s ambassador to Ukraine Martin Harris said Russian strikes destroyed a major pharma’s warehouse in Kyiv. Mr Martin, however, also said the attack was carried out by Russian drones, not a missile.<\/p>\n
“This morning Russian drones completely destroyed a major pharmaceuticals warehouse in Kyiv, incinerating stocks of medicines needed by the elderly and children. Russia’s campaign of terror against Ukrainian civilians continues,” Mr Martin said in a post on X.<\/p>\n
