Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n The attack on Pavlohrad took place on 23 July. At 11.20, the Air Force issued a warning that a guided aerial bomb had been dropped on the town.<\/p>\n According to information released with reference to the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration Oleksandra Ganzhi<\/strong>, a fire broke out following an attack on the premises of a food processing plant. At the time of the last update to this report, three people were known to have died and 28 had been injured. The figures on casualties were updated throughout the day.<\/p>\n The Pavlohrad site is linked to the Star Brands Group\u2019s snack division \u2014 Snack Production. The group\u2019s corporate materials state that potato crisps, roasted seeds and products under the CHIPSTER\u2019S, Hroom, \u00abSan Sanich\u00bb and BIG BOB brands were manufactured here.<\/p>\n Snack Production\u2019s portfolio also includes Flint, which local media have identified as one of the brands produced at the attacked factory. However, the company has not publicly disclosed which specific production lines, equipment, stock or finished goods were damaged on 23 July, nor when production might resume.<\/p>\n This is not the first documented attack on the group\u2019s assets in the Dnipropetrovsk region. According to Star Brands, on 23 April 2025, two Russian drones struck one of the main finished goods warehouses belonging to Snack Production and Club Chips LLC in the Synelnykivskyi district.<\/p>\n The company also stated that on 2 November 2025, a warehouse covering an area of 11,000 square metres, along with products worth tens of millions of hryvnias, was destroyed by direct hits in Pavlohrad. The snack food business\u2019s production and storage facilities were largely concentrated in the Pavlohrad and Synelnykiv districts.<\/p>\n The current disruption may affect the production and supply of some snack products, although the extent of any potential disruptions has not yet been disclosed. This conclusion is based on the role of the Pavlohrad site in the production of several high-volume brands, rather than on an official assessment by the company.<\/p>\n\n
