“The enemy attacked a peaceful civilian food production facility, where people were simply carrying out their work duties,” Kalashnyk said. 

All necessary services are working at the scene. Emergency crews are continuing rescue operations, search efforts, and clean-up activities.

In response to the Russian attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a statement.

“The list of Russia’s latest ‘ victories’ over the past few days has grown to include the Yagotynske for Children plant, which produced food products for children. As of now, seven people have been reported injured. Tragically, four people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones,” the president said.

Update: At 7:35 p.m., Kyiv Oblast police reported that the number of people injured in a Russian drone strike on the Yahotynske for Children baby food plant has risen to nine, while four people were killed. Seven of the casualties were hospitalised. Nine vehicles and a private home were also damaged.

Additionally, in the Fastiv district, the transportation company’s administrative building and 14 buses sustained damage.

Zelenskyy also reported that Russians struck food warehouses and a postal facility in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, an ambulance in Kherson, a school building in the Sumy Oblast, port infrastructure in the Odesa Oblast, ordinary residential buildings, and an outpatient clinic building in the Kharkiv Oblast.

“This means that in every such strike there is – perhaps not always conscious, but still real – complicity of those who work for Russia, who supply Russia with money, who help it bypass sanctions and find not just one or two, but thousands of components without which Russian military production would simply come to a halt,” the president said. 

Zelenskyy elaborated that five Kalibr missiles contain 145 such components. Thirty-three Iskander missiles contain 1,122 components. Six hundred and fifty strike drones of various types contain more than 17,000 components, without which they could not be produced.

“These are large-scale schemes designed to bypass sanctions, and this is absolutely real complicity in the killings,” he added.

Later, Zelenskyy said during his address to participants of the NATO-Ukraine Council meeting in Kyiv that the occupying state has the capacity to produce approximately 120 ballistic missiles every month.
