Overview
- A drone struck a civilian food-processing plant in Brovary in the Kyiv region, heavily damaging the facility bearing the 'Yagotynske for Kids' logo and killing multiple people according to regional officials.
- Kyiv region authorities initially reported one death and four injuries and later said the death toll at the Brovary site had risen to four as searches and rescue operations continued.
- Rescuers freed two employees from the Brovary plant and emergency teams remain on site conducting searches and firefighting amid unstable casualty counts.
- Ukraine's air force said at least 216 drones and two missiles were used in the wider wave of attacks, which Ukrainian officials say killed seven people after separate strikes in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.
- The strike underscores a recent rise in drone warfare that damages civilian infrastructure, threatens child-nutrition supply chains and complicates stalled diplomatic efforts after President Zelensky publicly proposed talks with President Putin.
