The Russian army struck a Yofi hummus factory in Kyiv. Due to significant damage to production, product supplies have been suspended for at least a month.
As Delo.ua writes, this was reported by the company's press service.
It is noted that no people were injured, but production “suffered significant damage.”
“A sad event recently happened to us. The enemy with whom our country is at war launched a missile strike on our plant. Production suffered significant damage, and we were forced to temporarily suspend supplies,” the message says.
The company noted that they are continuously working to restore production and plan to resume product supplies within a month.
The last time the army of the aggressor country, Russia, massively attacked Kyiv and its suburbs with “shaheeds” and missiles was on September 28.
