A Russian drone attack on a food factory in a region surrounding the Ukrainian capital Kyiv killed four ‌people, Ukrainian officials said ​on Friday.

The attack caused a fire at an administrative ⁠building on the premises of the enterprise, ​and parts of its structure have ⁠been destroyed, the regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk said.

"The enemy attacked a peaceful civilian food ‌industry enterprise. People who were simply ​going about ‌their work at their workplaces at the time," ‌he said on the Telegram messaging app.

Seven other people were injured in the ⁠attack and two people ‌could still ⁠be under the rubble, Kalashnyk said.

Emergency services ⁠said ⁠the search and rescue operation continued at the ‌site. They posted pictures of a building with a gaping hole and firefighters dousing ‌flames.

One ​of the ‌pictures showed a sign with the name of a local dairy ​maker, which makes baby milk food.
