A World Central Kitchen restaurant in Kharkiv was destroyed in a Russian missile attack, wounding four staff members, according to the D.C.- based nonprofit.

The attack occurred on Saturday, said Nate Mook, CEO of the organization. “This is the reality here — cooking is a heroic act of bravery,” Mook wrote on Twitter.

Russian forces bombarded the city in northeastern Ukraine on Saturday and Sunday, killing seven people, wounding more than two dozen, and setting apartments and shops aflame, according to media reports.

In a video, Mook showed a street of charred cars and bombed-out buildings, some still smoldering. “This was a big hit,” said Mook, panning the camera. “Just a tremendous amount of carnage left behind for no reason. In this area there are offices, there are residences, people live here, people work here, people cook here. And that’s it.”

“I don’t really know what else to say,” Mook added. “Just absolutely horrific brutality.”

A day later Mook posted a video of staff moving boxes and equipment into a truck, writing that supplies that were not damaged in the attack were being relocated to another kitchen elsewhere in Kharkiv. “The injured staff are doing well—and all the team here wants to continue cooking,” Mook wrote. He posted a photo from the hospital where staff members were recovering.

I want to introduce you to 3 brave staff from @WCKitchen restaurant Yaposhka! Yulia, Liza, and Yulia are in good spirits & recovering in the hospital after the missile attack. Yulia—next to me—said she’s excited to come back to help feed 1000s once her burns heal. True heroes! 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/xqqJe4mjcw

José Andrés, the D.C.-based chef who founded World Central Kitchen, posted an Easter video from outside St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. “The best of humanity shows up, unfortunately in the worst moments of humanity. And this is what I want really to celebrate on Easter,” Andrés said.

The aid organization has so far provided more than 11 million meals in Ukraine, according to Andrés, working with more than 350 restaurants across the country to prepare the food.

“We do the only thing we know — we are food fighters. While food is sometimes only a Band-Aid, we believe that the plate of food is sometimes the beginning of a better tomorrow,” said Andrés.

Andrés founded World Central Kitchen in 2010, following the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Haiti that killed some 300,000 people and displaced 1.5 million. Andrés began his humanitarian work as a young cook volunteering at DC Central Kitchen, which he later lead as board chairman.
