A charity kitchen in Ukraine linked to celebrity chef José Andrés' World Central Kitchen was destroyed by a missile, according to a tweet from the nonprofit's CEO, Nate Mook.
The nonprofit has been on the ground serving families fleeing Ukraine since the day after the Russian invasion began.
In a video posted to Twitter on Saturday, after the blast in the city of Kharkiv, Mook stood by what remained of the building that once held the restaurant that had been partnering with World Central Kitchen. A fire was still burning in a building behind him, he told viewers. Cars were burned out around him, with some parts strewn in the branches of bare trees above him.
Four of the partner restaurant's staff members were wounded, and there was "a lot of damage" to the kitchen. No one was killed in the restaurant, Mook said.
"This was a big hit, as you can see," he said. "Just a tremendous amount of carnage left behind for no reason."
