A warehouse belonging to the Kvartal 95 studio (a major Ukrainian media production and entertainment company) was destroyed in another Russian drone attack. Props, costumes, and sets accumulated over 20 years of work were also burned along with the facility, according to a statement from the Kvartal 95 studio.
The studio said the warehouse contained a large number of sets, costumes, and items used in concerts, television shows, films, and series. For the team, this property represented 20 years of their history.
"Behind every set, costume, or prop are the work of our team, filming, rehearsals, and dozens of stories that we created together with our viewers," Kvartal 95 said.
No one was injured in the enemy strike. State Emergency Service units worked at the site of the impact, and the studio thanked them for their prompt response and courage.

The studio stressed that the Russians will not be able to stop them from working, so all scheduled performances will go ahead as planned.
"Russian weapons can destroy property. But they cannot stop us. We continue to work, write new jokes, and help Ukrainian defenders. All scheduled concerts will take place. With or without props," the team emphasized.
In particular, on October 17, the comedians will meet with viewers for the filming of a new charity concert.
An air raid alert was announced in Kyiv tonight due to the threat of drones. After the all-clear was given, a warehouse building caught fire in the Sviatoshynskyi district as a result of an enemy attack.
In addition, the Russians also attacked Kyiv with drones yesterday, September 15. Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said that a warehouse facility in the Obolonskyi district was hit.
