"A ballistic strike took the lives of seven people, six of whom were our employees. One colleague is in the hospital with injuries—our staff is alongside them, receiving all necessary assistance. Dozens managed to escape to shelters in time, and we are helping them recover," Pertsovsky wrote on Facebook.
